Shloka 15
धर्मसूक्ष्मे त्यागप्रधान्यविचारः
Subtle Dharma and the Primacy of Renunciation
इसके सिवा जो दक्षिण मार्ग है, जिसे प्रकाशपूर्ण बताया गया है, वहाँ जो लोक हैं, वे सकाम कर्म करनेवाले उन गृहस्थोंके लिये हैं, जो श्मशान-भूमिका सेवन करते हैं (जन्म- मरणके चक््करमें पड़े रहते हैं) ।।
anirdeśyā gatiḥ sā tu yāṃ prapaśyanti mokṣiṇaḥ | tasmād yogaḥ pradhāneṣṭaḥ sa tu duḥkhaṃ pravedayitum ||
Sinabi ni Yudhiṣṭhira: “Ang kalagayang tuwirang nasasaksihan ng mga naghahangad ng mokṣa ay hindi mailalarawan. Kaya ang yoga—na dito’y tumutukoy sa disiplina ng mapagpalayang kaalaman at panloob na pagkamulat—ang itinuturing na pinakapangunahing at pinakanais-nais sa lahat ng paraan; subalit ang ganap na pagpapahayag ng likas nito sa mga salita ay lubhang napakahirap.”

Educational Q&A
Liberation is a direct realization that cannot be fully captured by language; therefore the inner discipline of yoga—especially knowledge-oriented realization—is regarded as the highest means, though it is difficult to articulate and grasp conceptually.
In the Śānti Parva’s reflective dialogue, Yudhiṣṭhira speaks about the nature of the liberative goal and the superiority of the yogic path, contrasting describable worldly destinations with the indescribable realization known to those pursuing mokṣa.
