Utkramaṇa-sthāna and Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa: Yājñavalkya’s Instruction on Departure Pathways and Mortality Signs
यदा प्रबुद्धा हव्यक्तमवस्थाजन्मभीरव: । बुध्यमान प्रबुध्यन्ति गमयन्ति समं तदा,जिस समय बाल्य, यौवन और वृद्धावस्था अथवा जन्म-मरणसे भयभीत हुए विवेकी पुरुष चेतन-स्वरूप अव्यक्त परमात्माके तत्त्वको ठीक-ठीक समझ लेते हैं, उस समय उन्हें परब्रह्म परमात्माके स्वरूपकी प्राप्ति हो जाती है
yadā prabuddhā hy avyaktam avasthā-janma-bhīravaḥ | budhyamānāḥ prabudhyante gamayanti samaṃ tadā ||
人生の段階の移ろいと生死とにおびえる識別ある人々が、未顕にして意識そのものである絶対の実在に真に目覚めるとき、その理解は余すところなく照らし出され、彼らは完全な平静の境地へと導かれ、至上のブラフマンをそのままに得る。

Educational Q&A
Fear arising from life’s changing conditions (childhood, youth, old age) and from birth and death is resolved through right knowledge: when one awakens to the unmanifest, conscious Absolute, one attains equanimity and realization of the Supreme.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing about liberation: he describes the inner turning point where a wise person, shaken by saṃsāra’s instability, gains clear insight into the unmanifest reality and thereby reaches the state of sameness (sama) and the Supreme.
