Adhyaya 43 — Portents of Death (Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇas) and the Yogin’s Response; Alarka Renounces Kingship
सर्वस्वे जीवनायालं निखाते पुरुषस्य या ।
चेष्टा तां तत्त्वतो ज्ञात्वा योगिनः कृतकृत्यता ॥
sarvasve jīvanāyālaṃ nikhāte puruṣasya yā | ceṣṭā tāṃ tattvato jñātvā yoginaḥ kṛtakṛtyatā ||
Lorsqu’un homme enfouit toute sa richesse pour pouvoir vivre, et entreprend quelque effort que ce soit—ayant connu cet effort dans sa nature véritable, le yogin devient celui dont le but est accompli.

Not pancalakṣaṇa; it is a reflection on artha and jīvana in service of mokṣa/yoga.
‘Buried wealth’ can also indicate latent saṃskāras stored within; by knowing their operation (ceṣṭā) truthfully, the yogin becomes free (kṛtakṛtya).
