Arjuna’s request to Krishna and the opening of the Kāśyapa–Brāhmaṇa mokṣa discourse (Āśvamedhika-parva 16)
उपलब्धा द्विजश्रेष्ठ तथेयं सिद्धिरुत्तमा । इतः परं गमिष्यामि ततः परतरं पुन:
upalabdhā dvijaśreṣṭha tatheyaṁ siddhir uttamā | itaḥ paraṁ gamiṣyāmi tataḥ parataraṁ punaḥ ||
悉达者说道:“婆罗门中最胜者啊,如是我已得此无上灵性成就。自此我将前往更高的境界,继而再至更高之处。勿疑:我既已焚尽欲与怒等内在仇敌,便不再回返此死亡之世。”
सिद्ध उवाच
True spiritual success is marked by inner conquest—overcoming desire, anger, and similar enemies—and by irreversible progress toward liberation, culminating in the unmanifest Brahman-state (moksha), beyond repeated return to mortal existence.
A Siddha addresses a Brahmin respectfully, declaring that he has attained an excellent siddhi and will now ascend through progressively higher realms, ultimately reaching the highest truth and liberation, and therefore will not return to the human world.
