Haṃsa–Sādhya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dama, Kṣamā and the Discipline of Speech
अग्नीषोमाविदं सर्वमिति यश्चानुपश्यति । न च संस्पृश्यते भावैरद्धुतैर्मुक्त एव सः
agnīṣomāv idaṃ sarvam iti yaścānupaśyati | na ca saṃspṛśyate bhāvair adbhutair mukta eva saḥ ||
ਜੋ ਇਸ ਸਾਰੇ ਜਗਤ ਨੂੰ ਅਗਨੀ ਅਤੇ ਸੋਮ—ਅਰਥਾਤ ਭੋਗਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਭੋਗ੍ਯ—ਰੂਪ ਹੀ ਵੇਖਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਖਰਾ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਇਆ ਦੇ ਅਦਭੁਤ ਭਾਵ—ਸੁੱਖ-ਦੁੱਖ ਆਦਿ—ਛੂਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਕਦੇ। ਉਹ ਹਰ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਮੁਕਤ ਹੈ।

Educational Q&A
Liberation is described as the state of one who sees the world as a play of paired principles (Agni–Soma, read as enjoyer–enjoyed) while recognizing the Self as distinct from these changing experiences; therefore pleasure, pain, and other māyā-born states do not bind or disturb.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira on the path of peace and release after the war, presenting a contemplative vision that weakens attachment to worldly experience and points toward mokṣa.
