जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
दृश्यादृश्ये हानुगतं स्वभावेन महाद्युते । अव्यक्तमत्र तद् ब्रह्म बुध्यते तात केवलम्
dṛśyādṛśye hānugataṃ svabhāvena mahādyute | avyaktaṃ atra tad brahma budhyate tāta kevalam ||
婆悉吒说道：“光辉者啊，那凭其自性遍满可见与不可见者，在此被理解为唯是未显之梵（Brahman）。因为它本然内在于一切可感与不可感之中，所以它是经验之全知根基。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that Brahman in its unmanifest (avyakta) aspect pervades both the visible and invisible realms by its own nature; realizing this all-pervasive ground is the basis for true understanding beyond sensory appearances.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing a royal or radiant listener, shifting attention from external phenomena (seen/unseen objects) to the underlying unmanifest Brahman that pervades them, framing a contemplative, knowledge-centered ethic within Śānti Parva’s discourse.
