Janaka negates even the most valued spiritual categories: knowledge (jñāna) and ignorance (ajñāna), bondage (bandha) and liberation (mokṣa). These four are the fundamental axes of Vedantic discourse — and Janaka dismisses them all. The Self is the Supreme Consciousness, eternally free. These concepts are merely “play of words for the ignorant” (śabda-vilāsa). Spiritual concepts — even the most elevated — become subtle traps when confused with the truth they point toward. Janaka now confirms this rather than merely teaching it.
