AI translationBodyless liberation; release at the death of the jñānī
Videhamukti is the final liberation of the jñānī on leaving the body: there is no more janma, because ignorance was already burned in life. Distinct from jīvanmukti (liberation in life, with body). It is not 'going somewhere else' — ātman always was Brahman; at death, the last remaining upādhi (prārabdha-body) ceases and there is no more appearance of individuality. For the jñānī, jīvanmukti and videhamukti are not two events; it is the same recognition, in two bodily contexts.
