जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
अगाधजन्मामरणं च राजन् निरामयं वीतभयं शिवं च । समीक्ष्य मोहं त्यज वाद्य सर्व- ज्ञानस्य तत्त्वार्थमिदं विदित्वा
agādha-janma-maraṇaṁ ca rājan nirāmayaṁ vīta-bhayaṁ śivaṁ ca | samīkṣya mohaṁ tyaja vādya sarva-jñānasya tattvārtham idaṁ viditvā ||
وسِشٹھ نے کہا—اے راجن، اس برتر حقیقت کو جان کر—جو پیدائش و موت کے باب میں بے پایاں، بے مرض، بے خوف اور سراسر مبارک ہے—آج ہی فریبِ وہم کو ترک کر دو۔ میں نے اسے جیسا ہے ویسا بیان کیا ہے؛ یہی تمام علوم کا باطنی و حقیقی مفہوم ہے۔
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
The core teaching is that realization of the Supreme Reality—beyond the ordinary grasp of birth and death, and characterized by freedom from affliction and fear—reveals the essential meaning of all knowledge. With that understanding, one should abandon moha (delusion) and become established in fearlessness and clarity.
In a didactic dialogue within the Śānti Parva, the sage Vasiṣṭha addresses a king, urging him to reflect on the teaching just given about the Supreme Reality and, on the strength of that insight, to relinquish fear and delusion.
