Mokshadharma Parva

मोक्षधर्म

Sri Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Shanti Parva)

The Mokshadharma sub-parva of Bhishma's deathbed teachings to Yudhishthira — the largest and most philosophically dense block of the Mahabharata. 186 chapters (BORI Critical Edition 168-353; Bombay/Gita Press vulgate 174-365), ~6,800 unique verses covering renunciation (sannyāsa), the path to liberation (mokṣa), Sāṅkhya, Yoga, and the famous embedded gītās and saṃvādas: Pingala Gita, Father-Son Dialogue, Shamyaka Gita, Manki Gita, Prahlada-Ajagara Samvada, Yājñavalkya-Janaka Samvada, Sulabha-Janaka Samvada, the long Vyāsa-Śuka instruction, and the Nārāyaṇīya — the Pañcarātra theological core where Nārāyaṇa is identified as the supreme deity. Often studied as a companion to the Bhagavad Gita and the Anugītā.
