Restoring Vedic Recitation, the Anadhyaya Rule, and the Taxonomy of Winds
ये त्वन्ये तत्त्वकुशलास्तेषामेतन्निदर्शनम् । अतः पर प्रवक्ष्यामि योगानामनुदर्शनम्,दूसरे भी जो तत्त्वविचारकुशल दिद्वान् हैं, उनका भी ऐसा ही मत है। इसके बाद मैं योगियोंके शास्त्रका वर्णन करूँगा
ye tv anye tattvakuśalās teṣām etan nidarśanam | ataḥ paraṁ pravakṣyāmi yogānām anudarśanam ||
Yājñavalkya dit : «D’autres sages encore, habiles à discerner la vérité, tiennent la même vue — en voici l’illustration. C’est pourquoi, ensuite, j’exposerai l’enseignement faisant autorité des disciplines du Yoga, telles qu’elles doivent être comprises et pratiquées.»

That the view just stated is not merely personal opinion: other truth-discerners (tattvakuśalāḥ) also accept it, and on that basis the speaker proceeds to a structured exposition of yoga as a disciplined path of understanding and practice.
In Śānti Parva’s didactic setting, Yājñavalkya is continuing a philosophical instruction: he cites the agreement of other wise investigators as confirmation of the point made, then announces a transition to describing the yogic system in an orderly manner.
