Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
इस प्रकार उपदेश पाकर मैं विषयोंकी आसक्तिसे रहित हो मुक्तिविषयक तीन प्रकारकी समस्त वृत्तियोंका आचरण करता हूँ और अकेला ही परमपदमें स्थित हूँ ।। वैराग्यं पुनरेतस्य मोक्षस्य परमो विधि: । ज्ञानादेव च वैराग्यं जायते येन मुच्यते,वैराग्य ही इस मुक्तिका प्रधान कारण है और ज्ञानसे ही वह वैराग्य प्राप्त होता है, जिससे मनुष्य मुक्त हो जाता है

ଜନକ କହିଲେ—“ଏହିପରି ଉପଦେଶ ପାଇ ମୁଁ ବିଷୟାସକ୍ତିରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇଛି। ତେଣୁ ମୋକ୍ଷସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ ତ୍ରିବିଧ ସମସ୍ତ ବୃତ୍ତିକୁ ମୁଁ ଆଚରଣ କରେ, ଏବଂ ଏକାକୀ ପରମପଦରେ ସ୍ଥିତ ଅଛି। ନିଶ୍ଚୟ, ବୈରାଗ୍ୟ ହିଁ ଏହି ମୋକ୍ଷର ସର୍ବୋଚ୍ଚ ଉପାୟ; ଏବଂ ସେହି ବୈରାଗ୍ୟ କେବଳ ଜ୍ଞାନରୁ ଜନ୍ମେ—ଯାହାଦ୍ୱାରା ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ମୁକ୍ତ ହୁଏ।”

Educational Q&A
Liberation is chiefly attained through vairāgya (dispassion), and that dispassion is born from jñāna (true knowledge). Knowledge loosens attachment to sense-objects, enabling freedom.
King Janaka speaks as a realized exemplar: after receiving instruction, he describes his inner transformation—freedom from sense-attachment—and affirms that he practices the disciplines oriented to liberation while abiding in the supreme state.
