Jāpakānāṃ Gatiḥ — The Destinies of Japa-Practitioners (Śānti Parva 12.190)
निर्वेदादेव निर्वाणं न च किज्चिद् विचिन्तयेत् । सुखं वै ब्राह्मणो ब्रह्म निर्वेदेनाधिगच्छति
nirvedād eva nirvāṇaṁ na ca kiñcid vicintayet | sukhaṁ vai brāhmaṇo brahma nirvedenādhigacchati ||
ବୈରାଗ୍ୟରୁ ହିଁ ନିର୍ବାଣ (ମୋକ୍ଷ) ଉଦ୍ଭବ ହୁଏ; ତାହା ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେଲେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଅନାତ୍ମ ପଦାର୍ଥ ବିଷୟରେ ଆଉ ଚିନ୍ତା କରେ ନାହିଁ। ବ୍ରାହ୍ମଣ ଯେତେବେଳେ ସଂସାରରୁ ଅନ୍ତର୍ମୁଖ ବିରକ୍ତି ପାଏ, ସେହି ବୈରାଗ୍ୟ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆନନ୍ଦସ୍ୱରୂପ ବ୍ରହ୍ମକୁ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ କରେ।

Educational Q&A
Liberation (nirvāṇa/mokṣa) is said to be attained through nirveda—deep dispassion toward worldly objects and concerns. When dispassion matures, the mind ceases to chase non-Self matters and becomes fit to realize Brahman, described here as bliss itself.
Bharadvāja instructs on the inner discipline of renunciation: he presents dispassion as the decisive means by which a spiritually qualified person (here termed brāhmaṇa) transcends worldly preoccupations and reaches the supreme goal, Brahman.
