You should, O grandfather, describe to me what is freed from duty and its reverse, what is freed from every doubt, what is above birth and death, as also virtue and sin, what is auspiciousness, what is eternal fearlessness, what is Eternal and Indestructible, and Immutable, what is always Pure, and what is ever free from exertion.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच धर्माधर्मविमुक्तं यद् विमुक्तं सर्वसंशयात्। जन्ममृत्युविमुक्तं च विमुक्तं पुण्यपापयोः॥ यच्छिवं नित्यमभयं नित्यमक्षरमव्ययम्। शुचि नित्यमनायासं तद् भवान् वक्तुमर्हति॥
