नारद–शुक संवादः (Nārada–Śuka Dialogue): Tyāga, Saṃyama, and Vyakta–Avyakta Viveka
स्थिरत्वादिन्द्रियाणां तु निश्चलत्वात् तथैव च | एवं युक्तस्य तु मुनेर्लक्षणान्युपलक्षयेत्
sthiratvād indriyāṇāṁ tu niścalatvāt tathaiva ca | evaṁ yuktasya tu muner lakṣaṇāny upalakṣayet ||
Porque los indriya se han vuelto firmes, y asimismo porque la mente permanece inmóvil, deben reconocerse las señales de un muni así uncido al yoga. Tal asceta disciplinado, establecido en una concentración superior, no resbala fuera del samādhi ni aun en medio de perturbaciones; su aplomo interior se conoce por la estabilidad inquebrantable de sus facultades.

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is that the authentic sign of yogic attainment is unwavering steadiness: when the senses are stabilized and the mind is unshaken, the sage remains established in samādhi despite external provocations.
Yājñavalkya is instructing about how to पहचान/recognize (upalakṣayet) a truly disciplined muni: not by outward display, but by the inner criterion of stable senses and an immovable mind that does not fall away from meditative absorption.
