Janaka takes Aṣṭāvakra’s teaching to its logical extreme: if there is no bondage, then the concept of liberation (mokṣa) is equally meaningless. Bondage and liberation are a pair — you cannot have one without the other. Once bondage is seen through, liberation becomes an empty concept. Body and prāṇa are likewise dismissed as “plays of the mind” (manoratha). Janaka restates his identity: the Witness (sākṣī), eternally free, eternally one. This is the hallmark of full Advaita realization — not just freedom from bondage, but freedom from the very concept of bondage and liberation.
