Shloka 33
योगे सांख्ये च नियता ये च धर्मा: सनातना: । चातुर्वर्ण्यस्य यश्नोक्तो धर्मो न सम विरुध्यते
yoge sāṅkhye ca niyatā ye ca dharmāḥ sanātanāḥ | cāturvarṇyasya yaś cokto dharmo na samavirudhyate ||
বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে—“যোগ আৰু সাংখ্যত নিৰ্ধাৰিত সনাতন ধৰ্মসমূহ, আৰু চাতুৰ্বৰ্ণ্যৰ বাবে কোৱা ধৰ্ম—ইহঁত পৰস্পৰবিৰোধী নহয়।”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the eternal disciplines taught in Yoga and Sāṅkhya do not conflict with the dharma prescribed for the four varṇas; inner spiritual practice and outward social-ethical duty can be harmonized rather than treated as rival systems.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Vaiśampāyana continues conveying a doctrinal clarification: different authoritative frameworks for dharma—philosophical/spiritual (Yoga, Sāṅkhya) and socio-ritual (cāturvarṇya duties)—are presented as compatible, guiding conduct after the war toward stability and right living.
