जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
कराल मा ते भयमस्तु किज्चि- देतच्छुतं ब्रह्म परं त्वयाद्य । यथादवदुक्त परम पवित्र विशोकमत्यन्तमनादिमध्यम्
karāla mā te bhayam astu kiñcid etac chrutaṃ brahma paraṃ tvayādya | yathāvad uktaṃ parama-pavitraṃ viśokam atyantam anādi-madhyam ||
瓦西什塔说道：“迦罗罗，你心中不应有丝毫恐惧。今日你已从我处听闻至上梵（最高梵）。我已如实宣说：它至净无垢，离诸忧苦，超越‘起始’与‘中间’等一切界限。既知如此，当令此见解坚固，并于今日舍弃迷妄。”
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
The core teaching is fearlessness grounded in knowledge of the supreme Brahman: realizing Brahman as supremely pure and sorrowless removes existential fear and should lead to the abandonment of delusion.
Vasiṣṭha addresses Karāla after imparting instruction on the supreme Brahman, reassuring him that having heard this truth he should not fear, and urging him to internalize the teaching and give up confusion.
