सोथयमेवं विमुच्येत नान्यथेति विनिश्चय: । परेण परधर्मा च भवत्येष समेत्य वै

so 'thayam evaṁ vimucyeta nānyatheti viniścayaḥ | pareṇa paradharmā ca bhavaty eṣa sametya vai ||

Vasiṣṭha nói: “Chỉ bằng con đường này mới có thể được giải thoát; không có cách nào khác—đó là xác tín đã định của ta. Và khi người ấy hòa hợp với Đấng Tối Thượng, chính lộ trình này trở thành pháp tối thượng (dharma).”

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.
