Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization
आत्मसिद्धिस्तु वेदेषु प्रोच्यते दशभि: क्रमै: । यदुक्तं वेदवादेषु गहनं वेददर्शिभि: । तदन्तेषु यथायुक्तं क्रमयोगेन लक्ष्यते,आत्मा (के मोक्ष) की सिद्धि तो वेदोंमें दस- उपायोंद्वारा बतायी जाती है। जो गहन ([दुर्बोध) ब्रह्म वेदवाक्योंमें वेददर्शी विद्वानोंद्वारा वर्णित हुआ है और वेदान्तवचनोंमें जिसका स्पष्टरूपसे वर्णन किया गया है, वह क्रमयोगसे लक्षित होता है
ātmasiddhis tu vedeṣu procyate daśabhiḥ kramaiḥ | yad uktaṃ vedavādeṣu gahanaṃ vedadarśibhiḥ | tad anteṣu yathāyuktaṃ kramayogena lakṣyate ||
Dijo Vyāsa: En los Vedas se enseña la realización del Sí mismo mediante diez etapas sucesivas. Esa verdad profunda, expresada por los videntes del Veda en las declaraciones védicas—y expuesta con claridad en las enseñanzas finales (Vedānta)—ha de discernirse por la práctica disciplinada del yoga, paso a paso.

Educational Q&A
Self-realization (ātmasiddhi) is not presented as a sudden claim but as a graded attainment: the Vedas teach it through ten successive stages, and the subtle Vedic truth becomes clearly graspable when approached through disciplined, step-by-step yoga, in harmony with Vedānta.
Vyāsa is instructing about liberation-oriented knowledge: he links the deep, sometimes cryptic Vedic declarations with their clearer Vedānta conclusions, emphasizing that the intended meaning is to be recognized through a sequential yogic method rather than mere verbal study.
