Having been instructed by the great and learned brāhmaṇa Vasiṣṭha, who discoursed about the Absolute Truth, Mahārāja Ikṣvāku became renounced. By following the principles for a yogī, he certainly achieved the supreme perfection after giving up his material body.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
स तु विप्रेण संवादं जापकेन समाचरन् । त्यक्त्वा कलेवरं योगी स तेनावाप यत्परम्
sa tu vipreṇa saṃvādaṃ jāpakena samācaran | tyaktvā kalevaraṃ yogī sa tenāvāpa yatparam
