Śrī Vālmīki said: 'O Bharadvāja, O wise one, chief among my disciples! Thus, Rāma and the others, having understood all that was to be understood, attained a state of freedom from sorrow.'
धीरनभ्यस्तसङ्गा हि रामादीनामिवानघ ।
घनमोहनिमग्नापि विमूढापि न मुह्यति ॥ ३ ॥
घनमोहनिमग्नापि विमूढापि न मुह्यति ॥ ३ ॥

Indeed, O sinless (anagha) one, steadfast individuals who are unaccustomed to attachment (saṅga), just like Rāma and others, do not become bewildered, even if deeply immersed in profound delusion or utterly confused.

4.
Thus, these great beings, princes headed by Rama and kings headed by Dasharatha, attained the state of being liberated while living (jīvanmukta).
त्वं च पुत्र भरद्वाज स्वयमेवासि मुक्तधीः ।

5.
And you, O son Bharadvaja, already possess a liberated intellect yourself. Truly, having heard this compendium on liberation (mokṣa), you are even more liberated today.

tvādṛśe kā kathā?
tvādṛśe kā kathā?
6.
Even a child, having heard these virtuous means to liberation (mokṣa) - which bestow direct experiential understanding - attains knowledge of them; what, then, needs to be said about a person like you?
यथा पदं पुण्यमनुप्रयाता महानुभावा रघवो विशोकाः ।

evam eva vasiṣṭhavākyaprasareṇa ādyam padam gantavyam.
evam eva vasiṣṭhavākyaprasareṇa ādyam padam gantavyam.
7.
Just as the great-souled (mahānubhāvāḥ) descendants of Raghu, free from sorrow, attained that sacred state, so too, O sage, by the propagation of Vasishtha's teachings, should the primal state be attained in precisely the same way.

8.
Diligent and wise individuals attain true knowledge (vedya) through the guidance of virtuous people, by excellent service, and by asking questions in the context of noble discussions, just as Rāma and others (Rāghavādyāḥ) did through their association (saṅga) with Vasiṣṭha.

Indeed, all those psychological knots (granthis) that are firmly bound by the strong ropes of craving (tṛṣṇā) and are deeply rooted in the heart of the ignorant, they dissolve and vanish through the deliberation on the topic of liberation (mokṣa), just as the immature become mature.
मोक्षाभ्युपायान्सुमहानुभावान् ज्ञास्यन्ति ये तत्त्वविदां वरिष्ठाः ।

10.
Those who are foremost among the knowers of truth will understand the greatly potent means to liberation (mokṣa). They will not again enter the cycle of transmigration (saṃsṛti). Son, what is the use of speaking much else?

11.
Those highly learned and virtuous individuals who, having deliberated thoroughly, enlighten people by discoursing on the true meaning, will not again fall into immaturity or ignorance. What is the use of other statements?

Those who will cause (scriptures) to be read, without expecting personal rewards; and those who will cause a book to be written; or those who will arrange for an auspicious reciter or an expounder in the noble land (āryadeśa)...

13.
Those noble-hearted individuals, endowed with the reward of a Rājasūya (yajña), will go to heaven repeatedly. Then, through the attainment of a third birth, they will achieve liberation (mokṣa), just as meritorious people achieve prosperity.

Formerly, Brahmā (Viriñca), whose form is inconceivable (acintyarūpa), having reflected upon this well-composed scripture that leads to liberation (mokṣa) through true teachings, applied it. And his words are never false.

When this narrative treatise, called 'The Means to Liberation (mokṣa)', has been brought to completion by the wise with diligent effort, Brahmins should be greatly honored by giving them excellent dwellings and desired food and drink.

And certainly, offerings (dakṣiṇā) and other gifts should be made to them, according to one's heartfelt desire and the extent of one's wealth. By considering such an act appropriate and performing it, that person indeed obtains the merit (puṇya) of such association, in accordance with scriptural injunctions (śāstra).

This great scripture (śāstra), recounted to you by the wise for the purpose of understanding, is adorned with hundreds of narrative sequences, illustrations, and logical arguments, and expounds the pure principle of the Absolute Reality (brahman). Having heard this, may you intensely experience lasting peace with a mind liberated while living. Being yourself imperishable, may you enjoy imperishable spiritual prosperity (lakṣmī) endowed with knowledge (jñāna), spiritual discipline (tapas), and the appropriate sequence of actions (karma).
