Prahlāda–Indra Saṃvāda: Kartṛtva (Agency) and Svabhāva (Nature) in the Causation of Karma
पृथक्त्वात् सम्प्रयोगाच्च नासूयुरवेद शाश्वतम् । स तयोरपवर्गज्ञो वीतरागो विमुच्यते
pṛthaktvāt samprayogāc ca nāsūyur aveda śāśvatam | sa tayor apavargajño vītarāgo vimucyate ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: ເນື່ອງຈາກຄຳພີກ່າວໄວ້ສອງແນວ—ບາງຄັ້ງກ່າວເຖິງຄວາມແຍກຕ່າງຂອງອາດຕະມາ ແລະບາງຄັ້ງກ່າວເຖິງການຮ່ວມເປັນໜຶ່ງ—ຈຶ່ງບໍ່ຄວນຈັບຜິດເມື່ອເຫັນຄວາມຂັດແຍ້ງທີ່ປາກົດ; ແຕ່ຄວນເຂົ້າເຖິງປັນຍາອັນນິລັນດອນ. ຜູ້ໃດເຂົ້າໃຈເນື້ອໃນທີ່ມຸ່ງໝາຍຂອງຖ້ອຍຄຳທັງສອງປະເພດ ແລະຮູ້ຫຼັກແຫ່ງການຫຼຸດພົ້ນ (ໂມກສະ) ຜູ້ນັ້ນຍ່ອມເປັນຜູ້ປາສະຈາກຄວາມຕິດພັນ ແລະພົ້ນຈາກພັນທະໂລກີ.

Educational Q&A
Do not criticize the śāstra when it presents both difference and unity between jīva and the Supreme; understand their intended purport together. One who grasps this synthesis knows the truth of liberation (apavarga) and, becoming free from attachment (vītarāga), is freed from saṃsāra.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma is teaching Yudhiṣṭhira about liberation-oriented wisdom. Here he addresses how to read seemingly divergent scriptural statements—difference versus union—without fault-finding, and how correct understanding leads to detachment and release.
