जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
सोथयमेवं विमुच्येत नान्यथेति विनिश्चय: । परेण परधर्मा च भवत्येष समेत्य वै
so 'thayam evaṁ vimucyeta nānyatheti viniścayaḥ | pareṇa paradharmā ca bhavaty eṣa sametya vai ||
ဝသိဋ္ဌက ပြောသည်– «ဤနည်းဖြင့်သာ လွတ်မြောက်နိုင်သည်; အခြားနည်းမရှိ—ဤသည်မှာ ငါ၏ အတည်ပြုဆုံးဖြတ်ချက်ဖြစ်သည်။ ထို့ပြင် အမြင့်ဆုံးသော အထွဋ်အမြတ် (ပရမ) နှင့် ကိုက်ညီလာသောအခါ ဤလမ်းစဉ်ပင် အမြင့်ဆုံး ဓမ္မ (dharma) ဖြစ်လာသည်။»
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation is attained only by the specific discipline or insight just described; Vasiṣṭha insists there is no alternative. When aligned with the Supreme (para), that very way of living is affirmed as the highest dharma.
Vasiṣṭha is concluding a doctrinal point: he states his definitive judgment about the sole means to release and then elevates that means by declaring it ‘supreme dharma’ when it culminates in communion or accord with the Supreme.
