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 ||

వసిష్ఠుడు పలికెను—ఇదే విధంగా మాత్రమే విముక్తి కలుగుతుంది; దీనికన్నా వేరే మార్గం లేదు—ఇది నా స్థిర నిశ్చయం. మరియు పరమునితో సమ్మేళనం పొందినప్పుడు, ఇదే మార్గం పరమధర్మముగా మారుతుంది.

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.
