Verse 5.17.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
विदेहमुक्ता ये राम ते गिरामिह गोचरे ।
नैव तिष्ठन्ति तस्मात्त्वं जीवन्मुक्तिमिमां श्रृणु ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
videhamuktā ye rāma te girāmiha gocare |
naiva tiṣṭhanti tasmāttvaṃ jīvanmuktimimāṃ śrṛṇu || 1 ||

Vasishtha said:—It is difficult O Rama! to describe in words the inexplicable nature of the liberation of disembodied souls; hear me therefore relate to you further about the liberation of living beings.
