Shloka 40
Arjuna’s request to Krishna and the opening of the Kāśyapa–Brāhmaṇa mokṣa discourse (Āśvamedhika-parva 16)
नाहं पुनरिहागन्ता लोकानालोकयाम्यहम् | आसिद्धेराप्रजासर्गादात्मनो5पि गता: शुभा:
nāhaṃ punar ihāgantā lokān ālokayāmy aham | ā-siddher ā-prajāsargād ātmano 'pi gatāḥ śubhāḥ ||
悉达者说道：“我将不再回到此处。直至成就圆满，并且只要众生的化生仍在延续，我将观照诸世界——也将观察我自身与其他有情所证得的吉祥归趣。”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes non-return to worldly existence after spiritual maturity: the Siddha speaks from the standpoint of detachment and liberation, indicating that true attainment ends rebirth and shifts one’s perspective to witnessing the moral-spiritual outcomes (śubhā gati) shaped by karma and dharma.
A Siddha declares his resolve and state: he will not re-enter worldly life again, and instead will remain a witness to the unfolding of the worlds and the destinies of beings for as long as creation continues, until his own final attainment is complete.
