Adhyaya 76 — The Sixth Manvantara: Cakshusha Manu, the Child-Snatcher, and the Problem of Kinship
ब्रह्मोवाच क्षीणाधिकारो भवति मुक्तियोग्यो न कर्मवान् ।
सत्त्वाधिकारवान् मुक्तिमवाप्स्यति ततो भवान् ॥
brahmovāca kṣīṇādhikāro bhavati muktiyogyo na karmavān / sattvādhikāravān muktim avāpsyati tato bhavān
梵天说道：“其资格/权分（adhikāra）已尽者，方堪得解脱（mokṣa），而非仍系于行为业作之人。然由清净质（sattva）而具资格者必得解脱；因此，你亦将获得解脱。”

Liberation is linked to inner qualification (sattva, clarity, dispassion) rather than sheer activity; action performed under binding compulsion differs from action aligned with purification and release.
Still within the manvantara stream (manvantara), this is a doctrinal aside explaining the moral-spiritual prerequisites that underwrite cosmic offices like Manu and their eventual liberation.
‘Adhikāra’ can be read as the remaining momentum of embodied destiny; when it is attenuated and sattva predominates, consciousness can disengage from compulsory becoming.
