अव्यक्त-प्रबोधः (Awakening to the Unmanifest): The 25th and 26th Principles and Eligibility for Brahma-vidyā
प्रश्निता विनयोपेता दमनित्या: सुसंशिता: । प्रयान्ति स्थानमजरं सर्वकर्मविवर्जिता:
praśnitā vinayopetā damanityāḥ su-saṃśitāḥ | prayānti sthānam ajaraṃ sarva-karma-vivarjitāḥ ||
凡被诘问考验而仍具谦卑与调御之行者——克己坚固,训练纯熟——便趋向不老之境。既舍离一切系缚之行(执我与执取之作意),他们以节制、谦谨与恒常誓戒之生活,证得不坏之究竟。
पराशर उवाच
Liberation is presented as the fruit of disciplined renunciation: humility (vinaya), self-restraint (dama), and firm training in vows lead one beyond binding action to the imperishable, unaging state.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, the sage Parāśara describes the qualities and trajectory of renunciants/ascetics: when tested and instructed, they remain humble and controlled, and thus attain the unaging goal free from karmic entanglement.
