अत-४_-णकात चतुर्देशाधिकद्विशततमो< ध्याय: ब्रह्मचर्य तथा वैराग्यसे मुक्ति भीष्म उवाच अत्रोपायं प्रवक्ष्यामि यथावच्छास्त्रचक्षुषा । तत्त्वज्ञानाच्चरन् राजन प्राप्तुयात्परमां गतिम्
bhīṣma uvāca | atropāyaṃ pravakṣyāmi yathāvacchāstracakṣuṣā | tattvajñānāccaran rājan prāpnuyāt paramāṃ gatim ||
毗湿摩曰：“大王啊，我今将以经论之明鉴，正当宣说解脱之道。凡依圣典所制之行而行之，心无所著，又住于真实知见（tattva-jñāna）之光者，便能证得至上境界。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation is approached by following the scriptural path: performing prescribed duties without attachment and cultivating knowledge of reality (tattva-jñāna), which together lead to the supreme goal (paramā gati).
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma addresses the king (Yudhishthira) and begins outlining the correct, scripture-grounded means to moksha, framing the discussion around disciplined conduct and true knowledge.
