Utkramaṇa-sthāna and Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa: Yājñavalkya’s Instruction on Departure Pathways and Mortality Signs
पजञ्चविंशतिनिष्ठो5यं यदा सम्यक् प्रवर्तते । एकत्वं दर्शन चास्य नानात्वं चाप्यदर्शनम्
pañcaviṁśati-niṣṭho ’yaṁ yadā samyak pravartate | ekatvaṁ darśanaṁ cāsya nānātvaṁ cāpy adarśanam ||
二十五の原理（タットヴァ）に拠って立つこの修行が正しく起動するとき、それは一如の見をもたらす。しかも同じ明晰さによって、多様が究竟であるかのような相はもはや見えなくなる。
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Vasiṣṭha states that when one is firmly grounded in the framework of the twenty-five principles (a Sāṅkhya-style analysis) and practices it correctly, one comes to perceive unity (ekatva). In that realization, multiplicity (nānātva) is no longer apprehended as ultimately real—ethical stability follows from seeing beyond fragmentation.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing his listener in a liberation-oriented doctrine: correct engagement with a systematic philosophical discipline transforms perception. The teaching contrasts two modes of seeing—ordinary perception that takes plurality as real versus awakened insight that recognizes an underlying oneness.
