Adhyāya 314 — हिमवदाश्रमः, शक्तिक्षेपकथा, तथा स्वाध्यायविधिः
Himalayan Hermitage, the Myth of the Thrown Spear, and Rules of Vedic Study
ज्ञानिनां सम्भवं श्रेष्ठ स्थानमव्रणमच्युतम् । अतीन्द्रियमबीजं च जन्ममृत्युतमोनुदम्
yājñavalkya uvāca | jñānināṃ sambhavaṃ śreṣṭhaṃ sthānam avraṇam acyutam | atīndriyam abījaṃ ca janma-mṛtyu-tamo-nudam ||
阎若伐迦(Yājñavalkya)说道:智者所能证得的最高归宿,便是那至上境界——无伤无坏,永不退堕——超越诸根之所及,亦无任何“种子”能再生束缚。它驱散无明之暗,令生死轮回止息。

Liberation (the supreme state) is attainable through wisdom: it is imperishable, beyond sensory experience, free from the causal ‘seed’ of bondage, and it eradicates ignorance along with birth and death.
In the didactic setting of the Śānti Parva, the sage Yājñavalkya is describing the nature of the highest goal (parama-pada) and emphasizing that it is reached by the jñānins—those established in true knowledge.
