In the very preceding chapter (319ᵗʰ), *Mahābhārata* depicts Janaka as a liberated soul. Here he is portrayed in all garrulousness with his pompous behaviour and manner quite unbecoming of a “saint-king”. Perhaps *Mahābhārata* suggests that there are layers of liberation. Janaka himself says — how am I any less liberated than you are?
