Brahmopadeśa: Adhipatitva-kathana, Dharma-lakṣaṇa, and Kṣetra–Kṣetrajña Viveka
Book 14, Chapter 43
तस्माद् गुणांश्नव सत्त्वं च परित्यज्येह धर्मवित् | क्षीणदोषो गुणातीत): क्षेत्रज्ञ प्रविशत्यथ
tasmād guṇān snava sattvaṃ ca parityajyeha dharmavit | kṣīṇadoṣo guṇātītaḥ kṣetrajñaṃ praviśaty atha ||
म्हणून या लोकात धर्म जाणणाऱ्या पुरुषाने गुणांवरील आसक्ती—आणि अगदी सत्त्व (बुद्धीची निर्मळता) सुद्धा—त्यागावी. दोष क्षीण झाल्यावर तो गुणातीत होऊन क्षेत्रज्ञाच्या शुद्ध स्वरूप परमात्म्यात प्रवेश करतो.

Educational Q&A
Liberation is described as transcending identification with all guṇas—even sattva—after one’s दोष (impurities) are exhausted; then one abides in/attains the pure Kṣetrajña, the Supreme Self.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener on the final stage of spiritual attainment: the dharma-knower, purified of faults, renounces attachment to mental qualities and realizes entry into the pure nature of the Kṣetrajña (Paramātman).
