Janaka now negates even the most valued spiritual categories: knowledge (jñāna), ignorance (ajñāna), bondage (bandha), and liberation (mokṣa). These four form the fundamental axes of Vedantic discourse, and Janaka dismisses them all from the standpoint of the ātman. Spiritual concepts — however elevated — become subtle traps when mistaken for the reality they indicate. The difference from chapter 2 is decisive: then it was Aṣṭāvakra teaching; now Janaka confirms from direct recognition.
