MAHABHARATA NOUN

See All Nouns, See All Categories

Mbh.7.51.2405 Extinguishing the fire, the divine Benefactor of the world, the great Master, declared the duties of Production and Emancipation.
Mbh.9.48.3581 Then Devala, beholding the power derived through Yoga of Jaigishavya's penances, reflected upon it with his righteous understanding and approaching that great ascetic, O king, with humility, addressed the high-souled Jaigishavya, saying, I desire, O adorable one, to adopt the religion of Moksha Emancipation!
Mbh.12.58.3151 He treated of a fourth subject called Emancipation with opposite meaning and attributes.
Mbh.12.58.3175 Virtue, Profit, and Pleasure, and Emancipation, were also described in it.
Mbh.12.122.6949 Entire abstraction from all objects is Emancipation.
Mbh.12.122.6965 As regards this topic, therefore, a dullard whose understanding has been debased by ignorance, never succeeds in acquiring the highest aim of Virtue and Wealth, viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.12.166.10024 Awakened repeatedly by the diverse benefits and evils of life, all of them applaud Emancipation.
Mbh.12.166.10025 We do not know, however, what Emancipation is.
Mbh.12.166.10026 The self-born and divine Brahman has said that there is no Emancipation for him who is bound with ties of attachment and affection.
Mbh.12.166.10038 And since he who has withdrawn himself from the triple aggregate may succeed in winning Emancipation, it seems, therefore, that Emancipation is productive of the highest good'
Mbh.12.174.10457 One day, the son, well conversant with the truths of the religion of Emancipation, and acquainted also with the affairs of the world, addressed his sire devoted to the study of the Vedas'
Mbh.12.191.11433 That person of regenerate birth who observes in the aforesaid way this mode of life having Emancipation for its end, with a pure heart and with an understanding freed from resolution, attains to Brahma after the manner of a tranquil ray of light that is not fed by any blazing fuel'
Mbh.12.193.11665 There is no higher end for anybody than Emancipation.
Mbh.12.193.11666 In consequence, however, of the excess or otherwise of good qualities, the sages say that differences are observable in respect of the degree of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.193.11669 But how can acts, if he continues to be engaged in accomplishing acts, bring about what is agreeable viz, Emancipation
Mbh.12.193.11675 Those that are conversant with both ie, with gradual Emancipation and immediate Emancipation, deserve to be called truly wise
Mbh.12.194.11678 Great Rishis gratified with knowledge, with hearts set upon Emancipation, and conversant with yoga, act in such a way that their yoga meditation may get on properly.
Mbh.12.195.11724 Sages conversant with the means of attaining to Emancipation have spoken of two methods, viz, the Sankhya and the yoga.
Mbh.12.200.12176 One desirous of felicity Emancipation, betaking oneself to religious rites, becomes purified from attachments by acts having for their object the purification of the soul, and at last wins great splendour.
Mbh.12.201.12215 They that seek Emancipation have not to return from space.
Mbh.12.201.12217 The refuge of Emancipation, viz, Brahma, is neither hot, nor cold, neither mild nor fierce, neither sour nor astringent, neither sweet nor bitter.
Mbh.12.204.12393 When they abstain therefrom, they attain to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.205.12422 Knowing Him, they that are wise, freed from everything that owns the power of Time, attain to what is called Emancipation.
Mbh.12.205.12426 That religion is sure to lead to deathlessness Emancipation.
Mbh.12.205.12464 By discerning Him who is without birth, who is the highest refuge of all righteous persons, who is self-born, from whom everything springs and unto whom all things return, who is unchangeable, who is without beginning, middle, and end, and who is certainty's self and supreme, a person attains to immortality Emancipation
Mbh.12.209.12659 SECTION CCX Yudhishthira said, Tell me, O sire, of that high yoga by which, O Bharata, I may obtain Emancipation, O foremost of speakers, I desire to know everything about that yoga truly'
Mbh.12.209.12660 Bhishma said, In this connection is cited the old narrative of the discourse between a preceptor and his disciple on the subject of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.211.12798 The intelligence which urges to abstention from acts, is that by which one attains to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.211.12827 Yudhishthira said, What faults are abandoned by persons desirous of Emancipation?
Mbh.12.211.12834 Bhishma said, A person of pure Soul, by extracting all his faults by their roots, succeeds in obtaining Emancipation.
Mbh.12.211.12835 As an axe made of steel cuts a steel chain and accomplishing the act becomes broken itself, after the same manner, a person of cleansed Soul, destroying all the faults that spring from Darkness and that are born with the Soul when it is reborn, succeeds in dissolving his connection with the body and attaining Emancipation
Mbh.12.211.12837 Amongst these, the attribute of Goodness alone is the cause through which persons of cleansed Souls succeed in attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.212.12887 He that is conversant with sorrow's end attains to Emancipation
Mbh.12.213.12902 They do not, however, succeed in attaining to Emancipation, all that they gain being those good qualities of which I shall presently speak
Mbh.12.213.12906 It is by the practice of that religion that one obtains the highest end viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.12.213.12946 Such a person, by transcending the bonds of the body and the senses like a traveller crossing a path full of obstacles, and transgressing all faults he sees, succeeds in tasting the nectar of Emancipation
Mbh.12.214.12949 The man of intelligence, beholding the world over-whelmed with the evils constituted by birth, death, decrepitude, sorrow, disease, and anxieties, should exert themselves for the attainment of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.214.12973 Without doubt, a person that is without desire, free from the bonds of the world, contented to live in solitude, abstemious in diet, devoted to penances and with senses under control, that has burnt all his sorrows by the acquisition of knowledge, that takes a pleasure in practising all the particulars of yoga discipline, and that has a cleansed soul, succeeds, in consequence of his mind being withdrawn into itself, in attaining to Brahma or Emancipation
Mbh.12.214.12991 When, however, he succeeds in apprehending the limits under which the two, viz, union with the three states and separation from them, are manifested, it is then that he becomes divested of attachment and attains to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.216.13081 The embodied Soul, when divested of Rajas does not immediately attain to Emancipation but assumes a subtile form with all the senses of perception and moves about in space.
Mbh.12.216.13082 When his mind becomes unaffected by acts, he, in consequence of such renunciation loses that subtile form and becomes merged in Prakriti without however, yet attaining to Brahma or Emancipation which transcends Prakriti
Mbh.12.216.13083 After the destruction of this gross body, one who through absence of heedlessness escapes from all the three bodies viz, the gross, the subtile and the karana succeeds in attaining to Emancipation
Mbh.12.216.13087 Such people never dream even of Emancipation
Mbh.12.216.13110 He who properly knows transformations of Prakriti, Prakriti herself and Purusha, becomes freed from Desire and attains to Emancipation
Mbh.12.217.13112 SECTION CCXVIII Yudhishthira said, By following what conduct, O thou that art conversant with all courses of conduct, did Janaka, the ruler of Mithila versed in the religion of Emancipation, succeed in attaining to Emancipation, after casting off all worldly enjoyments'
Mbh.12.217.13143 Then Kapileya began to discourse unto Janaka, who had according to the ordinance bent his head unto him as a disciple should and who was fully competent to apprehend the sage's instructions, upon that high religion of Emancipation which is explained in Sankhya treatises.
Mbh.12.218.13221 Behold, O foremost of regenerate persons, that if Emancipation be: such, then all religious acts and vows end only in annihilation.
Mbh.12.218.13223 If Emancipation means dissociation from all objects of pleasurable enjoyment or an association with objects that are not lasting, for what then would men cherish a desire for action, or, having set themselves to action, continue to devise the necessary means for the accomplishment of desired ends?
Mbh.12.218.13225 Bhishma continued, Beholding the king enveloped in thick darkness, stupefied by error, and become helpless, the learned Panchasikha tranquillised him by once more addressing him in the following words, In this Emancipation the consummation is not Extinction.
Mbh.12.218.13243 The learned say that ascertainment of truth is the highest object of existence, and that it is the seed or root of Emancipation; and with respect to Intelligence, they say that leads to Emancipation and Brahma
Mbh.12.218.13249 Listen to it for the sake of thy Emancipation.
Mbh.12.218.13250 Renunciation of acts is laid down for all persons who strive earnestly for Emancipation.
Mbh.12.218.13294 The felicity of Emancipation certainly differs from it
Mbh.12.218.13295 Over the felicity of Emancipation also, the felicity, viz, which is awakened by the inspired teaching of the Vedas and in which no one sees the slightest tincture of sorrow, the same indescribable and truth concealing darkness seems to spread itself but in reality the felicity of Emancipation is unstained by darkness
Mbh.12.218.13296 Like again to what occurs in dreamless slumber, in Emancipation also, subjective and objective existences from Consciousness to objects of the senses, all included, which have their origin in one's acts, are all discarded.
Mbh.12.218.13303 As small rivers falling into larger ones lose their forms and names, and the larger ones thus enlarged rolling into the ocean, lose their forms and names too, after the same manner occurs that form of extinction of life called Emancipation
Mbh.12.218.13305 One who is conversant with that understanding which is directed towards the accomplishment of Emancipation and who heedfully seeks to know the Soul, is never soiled by the evil fruits of his acts even as a lotus leaf though dipped in water is never soaked by it.
Mbh.12.221.13392 Steadily engaged in study of the Soul and in acquiring Emancipation, and firm in knowledge, he had arrived at fixed conclusions in respect of truth.
Mbh.12.221.13421 Even Emancipation and knowledge of self, according to me, flow from the same source.
Mbh.12.221.13442 Prahlada said, By simplicity, by heedfulness, by cleansing the Soul, by mastering the passions, and by waiting upon aged seniors, O Sakra, a person succeeds in attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.231.14393 In the Vedas hath been indicated the topic of the Soul's Emancipation, along with the ten means constituted by study of the Vedas, adoption of the domestic mode of life, penances, observance of duties common to all the modes of life, sacrifices, performance of all such acts as lead to pure fame, meditation which is of three kinds, and that kind of emancipation which is called success Siddhi attainable in this life
Mbh.12.231.14396 That consciousness of duality ceases during dreamless slumber or when Emancipation has been attained.
Mbh.12.231.14397 That person, however, who has attained to Emancipation, aided by his knowledge, forcibly drives off that consciousness of duality.
Mbh.12.234.14525 The mighty river of Time, overspread with eddies constituted by the years, having the months for its waves and the seasons for its current, the fortnights for its floating straw and grass, and the rise and fall of the eyelids for its froth, the days and the nights for its water, and desire and lust for its terrible crocodiles, the Vedas and sacrifices for its rafts, and the righteousness of creatures for its islands, and Profit and Pleasure for its springs, truthfulness of speech and Emancipation for its shores, benevolence for the trees that float along it, and the yugas for the lakes along its course, the mighty river of Time, which has an origin as inconceivable as that of Brahma itself, is ceaselessly bearing away all beings created by the great Ordainer towards the abode of Yama
Mbh.12.235.14554 SECTION CCXXXVI Vyasa said, If Emancipation be desirable, then knowledge should be acquired.
Mbh.12.235.14600 The first which is called Jivatman is endued with the four attributes already mentioned, and has a longing for the four objects or purposes viz, Religion, Wealth, Pleasure and Emancipation.
Mbh.12.235.14608 That person who cherishes no desire for earthly objects, who is not unwilling to take what comes, who is dependent on earthly objects to only that extent which is necessary for sustaining life, who is free from cupidity, who has driven off all grief, who has restrained his senses, who goes through all necessary acts, who is regardless of personal appearance and attire, whose senses are all collected for devotion to the true objects of life, whose purposes are never left, unaccomplished who bears himself with equal friendliness towards all creatures, who regards a clod of earth and a lump of gold with an equal eye, who is equally disposed towards friend and foe, who is possessed of patience, who takes praise and blame equally who is free from longing with respect to all objects of desire, who practises Brahmacharya, and who is firm and steady in all his vows and observances, who has no malice or envy for any creature in the universe, is a Yogin who according to the Sankhya system succeeds in winning Emancipation.
Mbh.12.235.14609 Listen now to the way and the means by which a person may win Emancipation through Yoga or the system of Patanjali.
Mbh.12.235.14610 That person who moves and acts after having transcended the puissance that the practice of Yoga brings about in the initial stages, succeeds in winning Emancipation
Mbh.12.235.14611 I have thus discoursed to thee on those topics viz, Emancipation according to the Sankhya system and that according to the Yoga system which are dissimilar if the speaker be disposed to treat them as such but which in reality, are one and the same
Mbh.12.236.14614 SECTION CCXXXVII Vyasa said, Borne up and down in life's ocean, he that is capable of meditation seizes the raft of Knowledge and for achieving his Emancipation adheres to Knowledge itself without extending his arms hither and thither for catching any other support
Mbh.12.237.14670 As regards this doubt about the true character of acts, it should be said that, if acts are ordained for man for inducing knowledge by which alone Brahma or Emancipation is to be attained, even then they should be regarded as obligatory and not optional.
Mbh.12.238.14713 SECTION CCXXXIX Bhishma said, Thus addressed by his sire, Suka, highly applauding these instructions of the great Rishi, set himself about asking the following, question relating to the import of duties that lead to Emancipation'
Mbh.12.241.14885 How, indeed, can Emancipation be obtained without violating the ordinance about the obligatory character of acts'
Mbh.12.243.15030 When, however, from performance of the ordinary sacrifices of sacrificers, the Sacrifice in Self proceeds, then may he discontinue all ordinary sacrifices, and unto the three fires duly sacrifice in his own Self for the sake of his Emancipation
Mbh.12.244.15051 One who practises Yoga without companionship, who beholds everything as a repetition of his own self, and who never discards anything in consequence of all things being pervaded by the Universal Soul, never falls away from Emancipation.
Mbh.12.244.15057 That person into whom words enter like affrighted elephants into a well, and from whom they never come back to the speaker, is fit to lead this mode of life which has Emancipation for its object
Mbh.12.244.15088 He who, at the outset, forswears the religion of injury, succeeds in attaining to Emancipation in which or whence is the assurance of harmlessness unto all creatures
Mbh.12.244.15108 He whose ignorance has been dispelled and whose sins have been washed away, never enjoys either here or hereafter the happiness that is enjoyed by others but attains to complete Emancipation.
Mbh.12.248.15284 The acts, however, of such a person both of this and his previous life cannot lead to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.249.15329 These words that I have used for answering thy question lead to Emancipation in the same way as the diverse other opinions advanced by diverse other sages that have treated of this subject.
Mbh.12.250.15359 For the sake of contentment thou shouldst wish to obtain a serene understanding which is a precious possession, being indicative of Emancipation, and which, scorching grief and all purposes or doubts together with thirst, destroys them completely in the end
Mbh.12.250.15362 when endowed with only the attribute of Sattwa, and with the aid also of the other three viz, instruction, meditation and Yoga, succeed in attaining to Emancipation
Mbh.12.251.15374 SECTION CCLII Vyasa said, Unto a disciple that wishes to enquire after Emancipation after having transcended all pairs of opposites and accomplished the concerns of both profit and religion, an accomplished preceptor should first recount all that has been said in the foregoing section, which is elaborate, on the topic of Adhyatma
Mbh.12.261.15832 One, however, that is endued with learning, or one that has subdued one's senses, or one that is possessed of strength of mind, succeeds in attaining to Emancipation, guided by that very conduct
Mbh.12.261.15833 That wise man who, having restrained his senses, practiseth, with a heart cleansed from all desire of injuring others, the conduct that is followed by those called good, is sure, O Jajali, to acquire the merit of righteousness and Emancipation which is its fruits.
Mbh.12.262.15940 They who covet the acquisition of the highest object of life viz, Emancipation, who are bereft of cupidity in respect of all kinds of worldly wealth, who discard all provision for the future, and who are freed from envy, betake themselves to practice of truth and self-restraint as their Sacrifice
Mbh.12.262.15955 For this reason, grasping priests officiate at the Sacrifices of only those misguided persons who, without endeavouring to attain to Emancipation, seek for heaven.
Mbh.12.262.15958 Endued with wisdom, many foremost of Brahmanas perform Sacrifices which with respect to their fruits are of two kinds, for some of them lead to Emancipation whence there is no return, and others lead to regions of bliss whence there is return.
Mbh.12.267.16291 Tell me, O grandsire, of that religion which leads to both results, viz, Enjoyment and Emancipation.
Mbh.12.268.16381 Who then speaks the truth that says that domesticity cannot lead to the acquisition of Emancipation?
Mbh.12.268.16388 When the Vedas say this so loudly and when again human beings are said to owe debts to the Pitris, the Rishis, and the gods, how can any one attain to Emancipation
Mbh.12.268.16389 This false doctrine of incorporeal existence called Emancipation, apparently dressed in colours of truth, but subversive of the real purport of the declarations of the Vedas, has been introduced by learned men reft of prosperity and eaten up by idleness.
Mbh.12.268.16498 The course of conduct, however, that thou hast indicated for enabling one to attain to Emancipation, is exceedingly difficult of practice.
Mbh.12.268.16499 Only he who is devoted to Yoga, who has discharged all his duties, who is capable of roving everywhere depending only on his own body, who has brought his soul under perfect control, who has transcended the requirements of the science of morality and who disregards the whole world and everything belonging to it, can transgress the declarations of the Vedas with respect to acts, and say that there is Emancipation
Mbh.12.268.16501 Gift, study of the Vedas, sacrifices, begetting offspring, simplicity of dealing, when by practising even these no one succeeds in attaining to Emancipation, fie on him who seeks to attain to it, and on Emancipation itself that is sought!
Mbh.12.268.16504 O illustrious one, I desire to hear without delay about that Emancipation which comes in the Vedas after the declarations in favour of acts.
Mbh.12.268.16508 I wish to know as much about Emancipation as is known to thee, O learned one'
Mbh.12.269.16515 Know that the reward of acts is purity of heart which only leads to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.269.16556 The duties of tranquillity, self-restraint, abstention from acts, renunciation, devotion, and the abstraction of Samadhi followed by those men of pure hearts, that are freed from desire, and that have Emancipation only for their object, for acquisition of the knowledge of Brahma, are equally laid down for all the four orders of men and all the four modes of life.
Mbh.12.269.16559 Renunciation, in which is that knowledge which leads to Emancipation, and which is highly necessary for a Brahmana, is eternal and comes down from preceptor to pupil for ever and ever
Mbh.12.269.16571 Syumarasmi said, Ye depend upon knowledge as the means for the attainment of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.269.16573 It has, however, been said that the end of all modes of life is Emancipation
Mbh.12.269.16591 Then again the highest contentment follows and rests upon Emancipation which is absolute, which exists as the soul of all mortal and immortal things, which is well-known as such universal soul, which is the highest object of knowledge as being identical with all mobile and immobile things, which is full, which is perfect felicity, which is without duality, which is the foremost of all things, which is Brahma, which is Unmanifest and the cause also, whence the Unmanifest has sprung, and which is without deterioration of any kind
Mbh.12.272.16727 SECTION CCLXXIII Yudhishthira said, By what means doth a man become sinful, by what doth he achieve virtue, by what doth he attain to Renunciation, and by what doth he win Emancipation'
Mbh.12.272.16730 Listen now to Emancipation, and Renunciation, and Sin, and Virtue to their very roots.
Mbh.12.272.16762 Beholding then all the worlds to be liable to destruction, he strives to cast off virtue with its rewards in the form of heaven and its happiness and endeavours to attain to Emancipation by the well-known means
Mbh.12.272.16763 Gradually abandoning all sinful acts he betakes himself to Renunciation, and becoming righteous-souled succeeds at last in attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.272.16764 I have now told thee, O son, of that about which thou hadst asked me, viz, the topics of Sin, Righteousness, Renunciation, and Emancipation, O Bharata!
Mbh.12.273.16767 SECTION CCLXXIV Yudhishthira said, Thou hast said, O grandsire, the Emancipation is to be won by means and not otherwise.
Mbh.12.273.16771 After the same manner, that cause which urges persons who regard virtue as the root of advancement and prosperity ceases to operate with them that seek to achieve Emancipation
Mbh.12.273.16773 There is only one path that leads to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.273.16795 The avoidance of ignorance by listening to and studying the scriptures, the absence of attachment in consequence of Renunciation freedom from desire and wrath by adoption of contentment and forgiveness, the puissance that is won by Yoga, the absence of pride and haughtiness, freedom from anxiety by subjugation of every kind of fear, absence of attachment of anything like home and family, these constitute the path of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.273.16797 Similarly, the restraining of speech, of body, and of mind, when practised from the absence of desire, constitutes also the path of Emancipation
Mbh.12.275.16887 Hearing these words of the king, the Brahmana became filled with joy, and applauding what he heard, Mandavya betook himself to the path of Emancipation
Mbh.12.276.16894 Himself conversant with the religion of Emancipation, the, son one day asked his father who was not conversant with that religion and who was engaged in following the precepts of the Vedas, this question'
Mbh.12.277.16965 Bhishma said, One that is devoted to the religion of Emancipation, frugal in fare, and the master of one's senses, attains to that high place which transcends Prakriti and is unchangeable
Mbh.12.277.17009 To those that are wise such a life of Renunciation is the means for the attainment of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.277.17011 The sage Harita declared all this to be the path by which Emancipation is to be achieved.
Mbh.12.278.17026 It is certain, therefore, that ye shall attain to the end of your sorrow, viz, Emancipation in time
Mbh.12.278.17032 Thyself, others in the world, and the deities too, should reverence them that have achieved Emancipation.
Mbh.12.279.17068 I shall speak to thee of the pre-eminent greatness of that Vishnu whose head, O best of the Danavas, is that Infinite place called Emancipation'
Mbh.12.279.17144 Hence, White, O prince of Danavas, leads to success or Emancipation.
Mbh.12.279.17170 I shall tell thee now, O foremost of Asuras, how Jiva succeeds in effecting his Emancipation.
Mbh.12.279.17171 Desirous of Emancipation, Jiva, relying upon seven hundred kinds of acts every one of which is characterised by a predominance of the attribute of Sattwa, gradually courses through Red and Yellow and at last attains to White.
Mbh.12.279.17181 The Yogin who is desirous of final Emancipation suppresses by Yoga-knowledge the seven, and continues to dwell in the world of life, freed from attachments; and taking those seven for certain means of grief, he casts them off and attains afterwards to that state which is Indestructible and Infinite.
Mbh.12.284.17651 Salutations to thee that always discoursest of Religion, Pleasure, Profit, and Emancipation.
Mbh.12.284.17832 It leads to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.286.17989 The Understanding of the man unconversant with Yoga can never be directed towards Emancipation.
Mbh.12.288.18083 Bhishma continued, Thus addressed by Sagara, Arishtanemi of Tarkshya's race, conversant with all the scriptures, regarding the questioner to be every way deserving of his instructions, said these words The felicity of Emancipation is true felicity in the world.
Mbh.12.288.18086 The ignorant man who is bound in the chains of affection is incapable of acquiring Emancipation
Mbh.12.288.18091 When thou seest thy dearly-cherished wife grown old in years and attached to the son she has brought forth, do thou leave her in time, keeping in view the highest object of acquisition viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.12.288.18096 Hear me now, for I shall presently tell thee, in detail, the desirability of the acquisition of Emancipation
Mbh.12.288.18101 If thou desirest to attain to Emancipation thou shouldst never bestow thy thoughts on thy relatives, thinking, How shall these exist without me,
Mbh.12.288.18114 Do thou, therefore, set thy heart on the attainment of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.288.18135 Beholding the abundant faults of children and of other men, who is there that would not adore Emancipation?
Mbh.12.288.18138 Hearing these words of his with attention, Sagara, that lord of earth, acquired those virtues which are productive of Emancipation and continued, with their aid to rule his subjects
Mbh.12.295.18445 It is only the senseless that do not applaud the felicity of Emancipation that is unrivalled.
Mbh.12.295.18446 Beholding the misery that attends the gratification of the senses, they that are possessed of wisdom cultivate the virtues of tranquillity and self-restraint for the purpose of attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.296.18518 Gradually ascending step by step, in the path of Yoga, they at last behold the stage of highest felicity viz, Emancipation
Mbh.12.297.18527 They that have subjugated the objects of the senses by attainment of Knowledge, acquire what is highest viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.12.297.18543 Though set on the path of the Emancipation, he yet becomes a traveller and attains to another body like a person repairing from one room into another
Mbh.12.297.18583 Establishing his race, he should then enter the forest, restraining his senses, and desirous of winning Emancipation.
Mbh.12.298.18630 One unacquainted with the course of the duties of Emancipation revolves like a wheel between birth and death, unable to free oneself from that fate.
Mbh.12.299.18678 Indeed, we would ask thee about the religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.299.18702 The arcanum of self-restraint is Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18782 Men of wisdom devoted to Yoga assign proper and very good reasons, O crusher of foes, for showing that one that does not believe in the existence of God cannot attain to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18784 Men of great wisdom have thus expounded the Sankhya philosophy of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18797 Bhishma said, By casting off, through the aid of Yoga, these five faults, viz, attachment, heedlessness, affection, lust, and wrath, one attains to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18799 become cleansed of all sins and attain to the felicity of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18800 As powerful animals, breaking through the nets in which hunters enmesh them, escape into the felicity of freedom, after the same manner, Yogins, freed from all bonds, attain to the sinless path that leads to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18801 Truly, O king, breaking through the bonds born of cupidity, Yogins, endued with strength, attain to the sinless and auspicious and high path of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18818 The Yogin, who is possessed of strength and whom bonds bind not, certainly succeeds in attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18823 with absorbed soul, without doubt, attains to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.300.18825 As a boat, O son of Kunti, that is tossed on the bosom of the sea is very soon taken by a heedful boatman to the other shore, even so the man of knowledge by fixing his soul in Samadhi, attains to Emancipation, which is so difficult to acquire, after casting off his body, O monarch.
Mbh.12.300.18826 As a heedful charioteer, O king, having yoked good steeds unto his car takes the car-warrior to the spot he wishes, even so the Yogin, O monarch, heedful in Dharana, soon attains to the highest spot viz, Emancipation like a shaft let off from the bow reaching the object aimed at.
Mbh.12.300.18828 That Yogin who, heedfully observant of high vows, properly unites O king, his Jiva-soul with the subtile Soul in the navel, the throat, the head, the heart, the chest, the sides, the eye, the ear, and the nose, burns all his acts good and bad of even mountain-like proportions, and having recourse to excellent Yoga, attains to Emancipation'
Mbh.12.301.18864 O foremost of eloquent men, about what is called felicity here, having a clear knowledge of what the sorrows are that overtake when the hour comes all those that are concerned with transitory objects and knowing full well the sorrows of those that have fallen into the intermediate orders of being and of those that have sunk into hell, perceiving all the merits and all the faults of heaven, O Bharta, and all the demerits that attach to the declarations of the Vedas and all the excellencies that are connected with them recognising the faults and merits of the Yoga and the Sankhya systems of philosophy, realizing also that the quality of Sattwa has ten properties, that of Rajas has nine, and that of Tamas has eight, that the Understanding has seven properties, the Mind has six, and Space has five, and once more conceiving that the Understanding has four properties and Tamas has three, and the Rajas has two and Sattwa has, one, and truly apprehending the path that is followed by all objects when destruction overtakes them and what the course is of self knowledge, the Sankhyas, possessed of knowledge and experience and exalted by their perceptions of causes, and acquiring thorough auspiciousness, attain to the felicity of Emancipation like the rays of the Sun, or the Wind taking refuge in Space
Mbh.12.301.18876 That glorious deity has Emancipation for his refuge.
Mbh.12.301.18877 Emancipation is independent of all refuge.
Mbh.12.301.18878 Knowing that this body, that is endued with six and ten possessions, is the result of the quality of Sattwa, understanding fully the nature of the physical organism and the character of the Chetana that dwells within it, recognising the one existent Being that live in the body viz, the Soul, which stands aloof from every concern of the body and in which no sin can attach, realising the nature of that second object, viz; the acts of persons attached to the objects of the senses, understanding also the character of the senses and the sensual objects which have their refuge in the Soul, appreciating the difficulty of Emancipation and the scriptures that bear upon it knowing fully the nature of the vital breaths called Prana, Apana, Samana, Vyana, and Udana, as also the two other breaths, viz, the one going downward and the other moving upward indeed, knowing those seven breaths ordained to accomplish seven different functions, ascertaining the nature of the Prajapatis and the Rishis and the high paths, many in number, of virtue or righteousness, and the seven Rishis and the innumerable royal Rishis, O scorcher of foes, and the great celestial Rishis and the other regenerate Rishis endued with the effulgence of the Sun, beholding all these falling away from their puissance in course of many long ages, O monarch, hearing of the destruction of even of all the mighty beings in the universe, understanding also the inauspicious end that is attained, O king, by creatures of sinful acts, and the miseries endured by those that fall into the river Vaitarani in the realms of Yama, and the inauspicious wanderings of creatures through diverse wombs, and the character of their residence in the unholy uterus in the midst of blood and water and phlegm and urine and faeces, all of foul smell, and then in bodies that result from the union of blood and the vital seed, of marrow and sinews, abounding with hundreds of nerves and arteries and forming an impure mansion of nine doors, comprehending also what is for his own good what those divers combinations are which are productive of good beholding the abominable conduct of creatures whose natures are characterised by Darkness or Passion or Goodness, O chief of Bharata's race, conduct that is reprehended, in view of its incapacity to acquire Emancipation, by the followers of the Sankhya doctrine who are fully conversant with the Soul, beholding the swallowing up of the Moon and the Sun by Rahu, the falling of stars from their fixed positions and the diversions of constellations from their orbits, knowing the sad separation of all united objects and the diabolical behaviour of creatures in devouring one another, seeing the absence of all intelligence in the infancy of human beings and the deterioration and destruction of the body, marking the little attachment creatures have to the quality of Sattwa in consequence of their being overwhelmed by wrath and stupefaction, beholding also only one among thousands of human beings resolved to struggle after the acquisition of Emancipation, understanding the difficulty of attaining to Emancipation according to what is stated in the scriptures, seeing the marked solicitude that creatures manifest for all unattained objects and their comparative indifference to all objects that have been attained marking the wickedness that results from all objects of the senses O king and the repulsive bodies, O son of Kunti, of persons reft of life, and the residence, always fraught with grief, of human beings, O Bharata, in houses in the midst of spouses and children, knowing the end of those terrible and fallen men who become guilty of slaying Brahmanas, and of those wicked Brahmanas that are addicted to the drinking of alcoholic stimulants, and the equally sad end of those that become criminally attached to the spouses of their preceptors, and of those men, O Yudhishthira, that do not properly reverence their mothers, as also of those that have no reverence and worship to offer to the deities, understanding also, with the help of that knowledge which their philosophy imparts, the end that of all perpetrators of wicked acts, and the diverse ends that overtake those who have taken birth among the intermediate orders, ascertaining the diverse declarations of the Vedas, the courses of seasons, the fading of years, of months, of fortnights, and of days, beholding directly the waxing and the waning of the Moon, seeing the rising and the ebbing of the seas, and the diminution of wealth and its increase once more, and the separation of united objects, the lapse of Yugas, the destruction of mountains, the drying up of rivers, the deterioration of the purity of the several orders and the end also of that deterioration occurring repeatedly, beholding the birth, decrepitude, death, and sorrows of creatures, knowing truly the faults attaching to the body and the sorrows to which human beings are subject, and the vicissitudes to which the bodies of creatures are subject, and understanding all the faults that attach to their own souls, and also all the inauspicious faults that attach to their own bodies the followers of the Sankhya philosophy succeed in attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.301.18921 Acts of compassion towards all creatures constitute its life-buoys and Emancipation is the priceless commodity offered to those voyaging on its waters in search of merchandise.
Mbh.12.301.18940 Observing the scriptures bearing upon Emancipation, I find this great fault in the subject for certain scriptures on the topic declare that consciousness disappears in the emancipate state, while other scriptures declare the very reverse of this.
Mbh.12.301.18943 If, again, consciousness disappears from the emancipate state and one who has become emancipate only resembles a person sunk in dreamless slumber, then nothing can be more improper than to say that there is really no consciousness in Emancipation for of all that happens in dreamless slumber is that one's consciousness is temporarily overshadowed and suspended, but never lost, for it returns when one awakes from that slumber
Mbh.12.301.18961 Soon after, O son of Kunti, when this body is cast off the Yati striving after Emancipation, endued as he is with knowledge and desirous as he is of Guna, succeeds in attaining to that Peace of Emancipation which is his who becomes bodiless
Mbh.12.304.19150 The destruction of Jiva's liability to be united with Prakriti is called Emancipation.
Mbh.12.305.19168 If Prakriti and Purusha be always united together in this way by each opposing and each depending on the other's attributes, I see, O holy one, that Emancipation cannot exist.
Mbh.12.305.19170 If, therefore, there be any direct evidence of the existence of Emancipation, do thou, speak of it to me.
Mbh.12.305.19171 We are desirous of attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.305.19184 Listen now to me, O monarch, as to how the subject of Emancipation has been explained by preceptors to disciple from days of old among highsouled persons conversant with the Sankhya and the Yoga systems of philosophy.
Mbh.12.308.19420 This is called Emancipation, viz, this comprehension or knowledge of oneself as something distinct from Unintelligent or Unmanifest Prakriti.
Mbh.12.308.19422 Indeed, that twenty-fifth is capable of attaining to Emancipation in this way only and not through any other means, it is certain.
Mbh.12.308.19428 By uniting with one striving after Emancipation, he himself, partaking of the nature of his companion, strives after Emancipation.
Mbh.12.308.19448 Indeed, this high knowledge that is the refuge of all persons conversant with Emancipation has been imparted to thee exactly as I had it from Brahman himself'
Mbh.12.314.19663 Thou, O foremost of Brahmanas, art fully conversant with the entire religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.314.19664 I desire to hear in detail of the religion of Emancipation in its entirety.
Mbh.12.315.19677 When Purusha, through ignorance, repeatedly becomes associated with attributes, he fails to understand his own real nature and therefore he fails to attain to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.315.19686 Those Sankhyas, however, that depend upon Knowledge only for their Emancipation and the practice of compassion for all creatures, say that it is Prakriti which is One but Purushas are many
Mbh.12.315.19701 Ascertaining the nature of Purusha and Prakriti in this way, the Sankhyas attain to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.316.19708 These two ordain the same practices, and both are regarded as capable of leading to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.316.19743 It is by this means that he attains, after many years, to Emancipation after casting off this inanimate body.
Mbh.12.318.19798 After that, thy understanding will turn to the path of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.318.19842 The fourth science then that treats of Emancipation, O foremost of kings, and on which I have already discoursed to thee, and which is based upon the twenty-fifth, viz, Jiva, I then expounded to him
Mbh.12.318.19845 The Universe is Unmanifest and original Prakriti endued with the principles of birth and death which are terrible to those that are desirous of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.318.19870 Thus have I told thee conclusions of the Fourth Science based on the principles of ratiocinative inference and having Emancipation for its end.
Mbh.12.318.19917 Viswavasu said, O puissant one, thou hast duly and adequately discoursed on that which is the origin of all the deities and which is productive of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.318.19922 He inculcated the science he had obtained from me unto those celestials that dwell in the regions of Brahman and other deities, unto those that dwell on Earth, unto also the denizens of the nether regions, and unto them that had adopted the path of Emancipation, O king.
Mbh.12.318.19925 Others there are that are desirous of achieving their Emancipation.
Mbh.12.318.19927 Emancipation flows from Knowledge.
Mbh.12.318.19947 Hence, this science of Emancipation is always open to them all.
Mbh.12.318.19957 King Daivarati, having obtained the knowledge of the religion of Emancipation, took his seat, and touching a million of kine and a quantity of gold and a measure of gems and jewels, gave them away unto a number of Brahmanas.
Mbh.12.318.19985 Do thou, therefore, adore with reverence that which is Supreme, most pure, blessed, stainless, and sacred, and which transcends all states being Emancipation itself.
Mbh.12.320.20019 SECTION CCCXXI Yudhishthira said, Without abandoning the domestic mode of life, O royal sage of Kuru's race, who ever attained to Emancipation which is the annihilation of the Understanding and the other faculties?
Mbh.12.320.20022 Do thou also, O grandsire, tell me what the supreme excellence of Emancipation is'
Mbh.12.320.20026 He was well conversant with the Vedas, with the scriptures on Emancipation, and with the scriptures bearing on his own duty as a king.
Mbh.12.320.20030 In course of her wanderings over the Earth, Sulabha heard from many Dandis of different places that the ruler of Mithila was devoted to the religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20037 Refreshed duly and gratified with the rites of hospitality offered unto her, Sulabha, the female mendicant, urged the king, who was surrounded by his ministers and seated in the midst of learned scholars, to declare himself in respect of his adherence to the religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20038 Doubting whether Janaka had succeeded in attaining to Emancipation, by following the religion of Nivritti, Sulabha, endued with Yoga-power, entered the understanding of the king by her own understanding.
Mbh.12.320.20054 Do thou listen to me as I speak to thee on Emancipation for there is none else in this world that can discourse to thee on that topic.
Mbh.12.320.20057 My doubts have been dispelled and am fully conversant with the Sankhya and the Yoga systems, and the ordinances as in respect of sacrifices and other rites, which constitutes the three well-known paths of Emancipation
Mbh.12.320.20059 That foremost of Sankhyas discoursed to me, agreeably to the truth, and in an intelligible manner suited to my comprehension, on the several kinds of means for attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20061 Freed from attachments, and fixing my Soul on supreme Brahma, and unmoved by companionship, I lived, practising in its entirety that triple conduct which is laid down in treatises on Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20062 Renunciation of all kinds of attachments is the highest means prescribed for Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20077 Some foremost of men that are conversant with the topic of Emancipation say that Emancipation has a triple path, these are knowledge, Yoga, and sacrifices and rites.
Mbh.12.320.20080 Another class of persons conversant with the scriptures of Emancipation say that Knowledge is the single means.
Mbh.12.320.20082 The high-souled Panchasikha, discarding both the opinion about knowledge and acts, regarded the third as the only means of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20085 If one can attain to Emancipation by means of knowledge, then may Emancipation exist in triple sticks for there is nothing to prevent the bearers of such stick from acquiring the needful knowledge.
Mbh.12.320.20086 Why then may Emancipation not exist in the umbrella and the sceptre as well, especially when there is equal reason in taking up the triple stick and the sceptre
Mbh.12.320.20091 When, therefore, mendicants are similar to kings in this respect, why would mendicants only attain to Emancipation, and not kings?
Mbh.12.320.20094 These have no value in aiding one to the attainment of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20095 When, notwithstanding the adoption of these emblems of a particular mode of life, knowledge alone becomes the cause of one's Emancipation from sorrow, it would appear that the adoption of mere emblems is perfectly useless.
Mbh.12.320.20097 Emancipation does not exist in poverty; nor is bondage to be found in affluence.
Mbh.12.320.20098 One attains to Emancipation through Knowledge alone, whether one is indigent or affluent.
Mbh.12.320.20100 The bonds constituted by kingdom and affluence, and the bondage to attachments, I have cut off with the sword of Renunciation whetted on the stone of the scriptures bearing upon Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20121 Thou livest in the practice of those duties that lead to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20160 By Conclusion is meant the final determination, after this examination of what has been said on the subjects of religion, pleasure, wealth, and Emancipation, in respect of what is particularly is that has been said in the text
Mbh.12.320.20235 What indications of Emancipation can be said to occur in that king who acts as others act towards enemies and allies and neutrals and in victory and truce and war?
Mbh.12.320.20236 What indications of Emancipation occur in him who does not know the true nature of the aggregate of three as manifested in seven ways in all acts and who, on that account, is attached to that aggregate of three
Mbh.12.320.20237 What indications of Emancipation exist in him who fails to cast an equal eye on the agreeable, on the weak, and the strong?
Mbh.12.320.20238 Unworthy as thou art of it, thy pretence of Emancipation should be put down by thy counsellers!
Mbh.12.320.20239 This thy endeavour to attain to Emancipation when thou hast so many faults is like the use of medicine by a patient who indulges in all kinds of forbidden food and practices.
Mbh.12.320.20241 What else can be looked upon as the indication of Emancipation?
Mbh.12.320.20242 Listen now to me as I speak in detail of these and certain other minute sources of attachment appertaining to the four well known acts of lying down for slumber, enjoyment, eating, and dressing to which thou art still bound though thou professest thyself to have adopted the religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20297 If there be no kingdom, there can be no righteousness, and if there be no righteousness, whence can Emancipation arise?
Mbh.12.320.20304 Hast thou heard the religion of Emancipation in its entirety from the lips of Panchasikha together with its means, its methods, its practices, and its conclusion
Mbh.12.320.20324 Thou hast, it is plain, fallen off from the domestic mode of life but thou hast not yet attained to Emancipation that is so difficult to arrive at.
Mbh.12.320.20325 Thou stayest between the two, pretending that thou hast reached the goal of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.320.20348 Instructed then in the religion of Emancipation, I wander over the Earth alone, observant of the practices of asceticism.
Mbh.12.320.20356 Having heard that thy understanding has been purified by the religion of Emancipation, I came here from desire of some benefit.
Mbh.12.320.20357 Indeed, it was for enquiring of thee about Emancipation that I had come.
Mbh.12.321.20427 Thou beholdest only the regions of Brahman and other deities, but thou art blind to that which is the highest viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.12.321.20429 Go along the path of Emancipation!
Mbh.12.321.20432 Do thou take prompt steps for achieving thy Emancipation!
Mbh.12.321.20462 Do not think that thou shouldst first enjoy all kinds of pleasures and then turn thy heart on Emancipation, for before thou art satiated with enjoyment thou mayst be overtaken by Death.
Mbh.12.321.20496 That omniscience is identical with the science of the highest object of human acquisition viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.12.321.20509 That man who is well conversant with the means of attaining to Emancipation and who duly discharges the duties of his order, certainly attains to great felicity in the other world.
Mbh.12.321.20542 Bhishma continued, Having heard these beneficial words spoken by the Island-born Vyasa, Suka, leaving his sire, proceeded to seek a preceptor that could teach him the religion of Emancipation
Mbh.12.324.20641 The mind of the great ascetic, O king, took no pleasure in the three modes of life with the domestic among them, keeping in view, as he did, the religion of Emancipation
Mbh.12.325.20642 SECTION CCCXXVI Bhishma said, Thinking of Emancipation, Suka approached his sire and possessed as he was of humility and desirous of achieving his highest good, he saluted his great preceptor and said, Thou art well versed in the religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.325.20644 Hearing these words of his son, the great Rishi said unto him, Do thou study, O son, the religion of Emancipation and all the diverse duties of life,
Mbh.12.325.20647 When Vyasa behind his son to be possessed of the resplendence of the Vedas, endued with the energy of Brahma, and fully conversant with the religion of Emancipation, he addressed him, saying, Go thou to Janaka the ruler of Mithila.
Mbh.12.325.20648 The king of Mithila will tell thee everything for thy Emancipation,
Mbh.12.325.20649 Bearing the command of his sire, O king, Suka proceeded to Mithila for enquiring of its king about the truth of duties and the Refuge of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.325.20657 That king is well versed in all duties and well acquainted with the scriptures on Emancipation.
Mbh.12.325.20671 Bearing that burthen in his mind and ceaselessly dwelling upon it viz, the desire of mastering the religion of Emancipation, Suka of cheerful soul and taking delight in internal survey only, reached Mithila at last.
Mbh.12.325.20682 Seated there, Suka, O son, began to think of Emancipation only.
Mbh.12.326.20718 Suka said, Blessed be thou, my sire said unto me that his Yajamana, the ruler of the Videhas, known all over the world by the name of Janaka, is well-versed in the religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.326.20723 What are the duties of a Brahmana, and what is the essence of those duties that have Emancipation for their object.
Mbh.12.326.20724 How also is Emancipation to be obtained?
Mbh.12.326.20738 Janaka said, Without the aid of an understanding cleansed by study of the scriptures and without that true conception of all things which is known by the name of Vijnana, the attainment of Emancipation is impossible.
Mbh.12.326.20744 By abandoning acts, good and bad, agreeably to this order of acts one succeeds, in course of many birth, in attaining to Emancipation
Mbh.12.326.20745 That man who, through penances performed in course of many births, succeeds in obtaining a cleansed mind and understanding and soul, certainly becomes able to attain to Emancipation in a new birth in even the very first mode viz, Brahmacharyya
Mbh.12.326.20746 When, having attained to a cleansed understanding, Emancipation becomes his and in consequence thereof he becomes possessed of knowledge in respect of all visible things, what desirable object is there to attain by observing the three other modes of life
Mbh.12.326.20751 In this connection, there is a saying sung of old by king Yayati and borne in remembrance, O sire, by all persons conversant with the scriptures bearing upon Emancipation.
Mbh.12.326.20763 Whatever else should be known by one desirous of learning the religion of Emancipation is already known to thee.
Mbh.12.326.20769 Whether in consequence of thy tender age, or of the doubts thou hast not been able to dispel, or of the fear that is due to the unattainment of Emancipation, thou art not conscious of that knowledge due to intuition although it has arisen in thy mind.
Mbh.12.326.20783 Thou stayest, O Brahmana, in those duties which obtain for the Brahmana that fruit which should be his and which is identical with the essence of the object represented by Emancipation.
Mbh.12.328.20937 That wind which takes away the life of all living creatures when the proper hour comes, whose track is followed by Death and Surya's son Yama, which becomes the source of that immortality which is attained by Yogins of subtile sight who are always engaged in Yoga meditation, by whose aid the thousands of grandsons of Daksha, that lord of creatures, by his ten sons, succeeded in days of old in attaining to the ends of the universe, whose touch enables one to attain to Emancipation by freeing oneself from the obligation of returning so the world, that wind is called by the name of Paravaha.
Mbh.12.329.21048 One conversant with Emancipation says that the Supreme Soul is without beginning and without end; that it takes birth as all creatures; that it resides as a witness in the Jiva-soul; that it is inactive, and without form.
Mbh.12.331.21219 Freed from affection and all doubt, he began to think only of Emancipation, and set his heart on the journey.
Mbh.12.332.21227 He once more set himself pre-pared to Yoga for attaining to the path of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.332.21230 Suka said, I have succeeded in beholding the path of Emancipation, I have addrest myself to it.
Mbh.12.333.21327 That person devoted to tranquillity hears this sacred history directly connected with the topic of Emancipation is certain to attain to the highest end
Mbh.12.334.21329 How can he certainly acquire heaven and attain that which is of the highest benefit viz, Emancipation?
Mbh.12.334.21332 What is the essence of Emancipation?
Mbh.12.335.21485 In that treatise the authors discoursed on Religion and Wealth and Pleasure, and subsequently on Emancipation also.
Mbh.12.338.21781 Salutations to thee that art of the form of Emancipation
Mbh.12.340.22019 Emancipation has, O regenerate one, been said by thee to be the highest felicity and to consist of the cessation of existence.
Mbh.12.340.22021 It seems to be, O Brahmana, that the eternal religion of Emancipation is exceedingly difficult of observance.
Mbh.12.348.23296 As regards embodied creatures, O perpetuator of Kuru's race, that person is the foremost who is wedded to the attribute of Sattwa, for, O tiger among men, it is certain that he will attain to Emancipation.
Mbh.12.348.23298 As regards Emancipation, it is entirely dependent upon Narayana.
Mbh.12.348.23299 Hence it is that persons striving after Emancipation are regarded as made up of the attribute of Sattwa.
Mbh.12.348.23301 Those persons that are endued with wisdom, that have betaken themselves to the practices of Yatis and the religion of Emancipation, those persons of quenched thirst, always find that Hari favours them with the fruition of their desire
Mbh.12.348.23302 That man subject to birth and death upon whom Hari casts a kind eye should be known as endued with the attribute of Sattwa and devoted to the acquisition of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.348.23304 By adopting that religion one attains to the highest end and attains to Emancipation which has Narayana for its soul.
Mbh.12.351.23534 That Soul is sometimes engaged in acts and when it succeeds in casting off acts attains to Emancipation or identity with the Supreme Soul.
Mbh.12.352.23562 Yudhishthira said, Thou hast, O grandsire discoursed to us on the duties appertaining to the religion of Emancipation.
Mbh.12.353.23621 There are some that applaud Emancipation.
Mbh.12.358.23739 these are the thoughts to which the mind should ever be directed by him who leads that course of life which leads to Emancipation.
Mbh.13.14.1178 Indeed, I do not wish to have that cessation of individual existence which is called Emancipation and which involves a complete identification with Brahma.
Mbh.13.14.1255 Impelled by desire, I solicit, with restrained mind, that god known to all the mobile and immobile universe, him, that is, who has been spoken of as the best and highest of all the gods, and who is auspiciousness itself, for obtaining without delay that highest of all acquisitions, viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.13.14.1398 Among the Maruts thou art Sakra, among the Pitris thou art Devarat, among all the regions for the residence of created beings thou art the region of Brahman, and amongst all the ends that creatures attain to, thou art Moksha or Emancipation.
Mbh.13.16.1585 After he had said these words, Tandi beheld before him that ocean of penances, that great Deity who is immutable and undeteriorating, who is without compare, who is inconceivable, who is eternal, and who is without any change, who is indivisible, who is whole, who is Brahma, who transcends all attributes, and who is endued with attributes, who is the highest delight of Yogins, who is without deterioration, who is called Emancipation, who is the refuge of the Mind, of Indra, of Agni, of the god of wind, of the entire universe, and of the Grandsire Brahma; who is incapable of being conceived by the Mind, who is without mutation of any kind, who is pure, who is capable of being apprehended by understanding only and who is immaterial as the Mind; who is difficult of comprehension, who is incapable of being measured, who is difficult of being attained by persons of uncleansed souls, who is the origin of the universe, and who transcends both the universe and the attribute of darkness; who is ancient, who is Purusha, who is possessed of effulgence, and who is higher than the highest.
Mbh.13.16.1603 Thou art the door of heaven and of Emancipation.
Mbh.13.16.1606 Thou art heaven, thou art Emancipation, thou art desire the seed of action.
Mbh.13.16.1698 Thou, O Eternal one, art that End which is theirs that are desirous of achieving Emancipation from rebirth, that live in dissociation from all enjoyments, and that desire the annihilation of the Prakriti elements.
Mbh.13.17.2036 Thou art the foremost of all colleted things, being Emancipation or the highest of all ends to which creatures attain.
Mbh.13.17.2274 Thou art he who has attained to that purity of existence which is called Emancipation.
Mbh.13.17.2323 Thou art he who dispels all fears and who dispelling all the fears of those Rishis gave them Emancipation.
Mbh.13.17.2409 Thou art he who rescues all creatures from distress and leads them to the felicity of Emancipation.
Mbh.13.17.2621 Thou art the giver of immortality in the form of Emancipation as the fruit of all acts of righteousness achieved by creatures without the desire of fruits
Mbh.13.17.2651 Thou art the door of Emancipation because of thy identity with the absence of Desire which alone can lead to the merging into Brahman.
Mbh.13.17.2653 Thou art Nirvana or that cessation of individual or separate existence which is Emancipation.
Mbh.13.17.2700 Thou art he who rescues thy creatures from death by granting them Emancipation.
Mbh.13.17.2718 Thou art identical with Emancipation.
Mbh.13.17.2736 With the aid of this hymn one is sure to succeed in attaining to Emancipation.
Mbh.13.17.2740 Endued with omnipotence, he it is that gives Emancipation to those that worship him.
Mbh.13.17.2754 This confers Yoga and Emancipation and heaven and contentment.
Mbh.13.26.3613 That person who himself beholding Ganga, points her out to others, finds that Ganga rescues him from rebirth and confers Emancipation on him.
Mbh.13.35.4143 From them flow all the great objects of life viz, Righteousness and Wealth and Pleasure and Emancipation.
Mbh.13.115.10280 It is seen that even those men who are possessed of learning and who seek to achieve the highest good in the form of Emancipation, are not free from the fear of death.
Mbh.13.141.11738 Standing like a stake of wood, and abstaining from all food he does only such acts as point to Emancipation.
Mbh.13.141.11746 Even this is the religion of persons conversant with Emancipation as declared in the Vedas.
Mbh.13.141.11749 Bhikshus or followers of the religion of Emancipation are of four kinds.
Mbh.13.141.11754 Uma said, Thou halt recited the religion of the householders, that of Emancipation, and that which is based upon the observances of the righteous.
