Adhyāya 180: Jīva, Śarīra, and the Fire Analogy (भृगु–भरद्वाज संवादः)
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि आजगरप्रह्नादसंवादे एकोनाशीत्यधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi ājagaraprahlādasaṃvāde ekonāśītyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
至此,《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)中,尤以《解脱法门》部分而言,第一百七十九章告终:叙述了普罗诃罗陀(Prahlāda)与一位奉行“阿阇伽罗行”(ājagara-vṛtti,蟒行之律)的圣者之间的对话,此为极致知足、不争不求与内在自在之范式。末尾题记(colophon)标示此教诲单元的结束,并以此框定其伦理旨趣:重在趋向解脱的行持,而非世间的攫取。
भीष्म उवाच
The colophon closes a unit of instruction centered on mokṣa-oriented ethics: the ‘ājagara-vṛtti’ ideal of non-grasping, patient acceptance, and freedom from compulsive striving, presented through a dialogue that frames inner liberation as superior to restless acquisition.
Bhīṣma’s discourse reaches the end of a chapter in the Mokṣa-dharma section. The text marks completion of the dialogue between Prahlāda and a sage who lives by the ‘python-like’ discipline, signaling that this particular teaching conversation has concluded.
