नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
तत्रोपनिषदं चैव परिशेषं च पार्थिव । मथ्नामि मनसा तात दृष्ट्वा चान्वीक्षिकीं पराम्
tatro'paniṣadaṃ caiva pariśeṣaṃ ca pārthiva | mathnāmi manasā tāta dṛṣṭvā cānvīkṣikīṃ parām ||
ヤージュニャヴァルキヤは言った。「そこにおいて、王よ—愛しき子よ—私はウパニシャッドの教えとその補遺、そして理性的探究の最高の学—アーンヴィークシキー(Ānvīkṣikī)—を見渡したのち、それらすべてを心中で攪拌し、要義を搾り出そうとした。」
याज़्ञवल्क्य उवाच
True understanding is not gained by merely possessing sacred texts; it arises from reflective assimilation—‘churning’ the Upaniṣadic teaching together with its supplementary explanations through disciplined inquiry (ānvīkṣikī) to extract the essence that guides right living and liberation.
Yājñavalkya addresses a king affectionately and describes his own method of study: he examines the Upaniṣads and related supplementary material, then engages the highest rational inquiry, internally processing the teachings to arrive at their distilled meaning.
