Saṃsāra-gahana-jñāna: Vidura’s Account of Embodiment, Bondage, and Dharmic Release (संसारगहन-ज्ञानम्)
एवं सर्व विदित्वा वै यस्तत्त्वमनुवर्तते । स प्रमोक्षाय लभते पन्थानं मनुजेश्वर,नरेश्वर! जो इस प्रकार सब कुछ जानकर तत्त्वका अनुसरण करता है, वह मोक्षतक पहुँचनेके लिये मार्ग प्राप्त कर लेता है
evaṁ sarvaṁ viditvā vai yas tattvam anuvartate | sa pramokṣāya labhate panthānaṁ manujeśvara ||
Ó senhor dos homens, quem de fato compreende tudo isto e então vive de acordo com o tattva, o princípio real, alcança o caminho que conduz à libertação (mokṣa).

Educational Q&A
Vidura teaches that mere understanding is incomplete unless one follows the truth (tattva) in practice; such lived alignment becomes the means that leads toward liberation (mokṣa).
In the Strī Parva’s reflective aftermath of the war, Vidura addresses the king as a moral counselor, summarizing that true insight must be translated into conduct, and that this is what opens the road to spiritual release.
