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 ||
وسِشٹھ نے کہا: “اسی طریقے سے ہی رہائی ممکن ہے؛ اس کے سوا کوئی اور راہ نہیں—یہ میرا قطعی فیصلہ ہے۔ اور جب انسان پرم (اعلیٰ حقیقت) کے ساتھ ہم آہنگ ہو جاتا ہے تو یہی طریقِ کار اعلیٰ ترین دھرم بن جاتا ہے۔”
वसिष्ठ उवाच
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.
