Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
सांख्यज्ञान, योगविद्या तथा राजधर्म--इन तीन प्रकारके मोक्षधर्ममें मुझे गन्तव्य मार्ग गुरुदेवसे प्राप्त हो चुका है। इन विषयोंके मेरे सारे संशय दूर हो गये हैं ।।
Janaka uvāca: Sāṅkhyajñānaṃ, yogavidyā tathā rājadharma—eteṣu trividheṣu mokṣadharmeṣu mama gantavya-mārgo gurudevāt prāptaḥ. Eṣu viṣayeṣu mama sarve saṃśayā nivṛttāḥ. Sa yathā-śāstra-dṛṣṭena mārgeṇeha paribhraman vārṣikāṃ caturō māsān purā mayi sukham uṣitaḥ.
Wika ni Janaka: “Mula sa aking iginagalang na guro, natanggap ko na ang landas na dapat tahakin sa tatluhang disiplina tungo sa paglaya—ang pananaw ng Sāṅkhya, ang agham ng Yoga, at ang dharma ng hari. Napawi na ang lahat ng aking pag-aalinlangan sa mga bagay na ito. Noong unang panahon, ang gurong iyon ay naglalakbay ayon sa pamumuhay na itinatakda ng mga śāstra, at nagkataong napadako rito; at sa apat na buwan ng tag-ulan, siya’y nanatili sa aking tahanan nang payapa at maginhawa.”

Educational Q&A
Liberation-oriented dharma is presented as a threefold discipline—Sāṅkhya (discriminative knowledge), Yoga (practical inner discipline), and Rājadharma (ethical governance). Janaka emphasizes that right guidance from a guru, grounded in śāstra, resolves doubt and clarifies one’s proper path.
Janaka recalls an earlier episode: his teacher, traveling in accordance with scriptural custom, arrived at Janaka’s place and stayed there for the four rainy-season months (cāturmāsya). During that association Janaka received instruction, after which his uncertainties about these mokṣa-teachings were removed.
