Saṃhāra-krama (The Sequence of Cosmic Dissolution) — Yājñavalkya’s Discourse
तद्वदात्मसमाधानं युक्त्वा योगेन तत्त्ववित् । दुर्गमें स्थानमाप्नोति हित्वा देहमिमं नूप
tadvad ātma-samādhānaṁ yuktvā yogena tattvavit | durgame sthānam āpnoti hitvā deham imaṁ nūpa, kuntī-kumāra! nṛpa-śreṣṭha! |
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ດັ່ງນັ້ນແຫຼະ ຜູ້ຮູ້ຄວາມຈິງ ໄດ້ຜູກອາດຕະໃຫ້ໝັ້ນໃນຄວາມຕັ້ງມັ່ນ (ສະມາທິ) ດ້ວຍໂຍຄະ ຈະບັນລຸສະຖານະອັນເຂົ້າເຖິງຍາກ. ເມື່ອລະທິ້ງກາຍນີ້ແລ້ວ ໂອ ກະສັດ—ໂອ ບຸດແຫ່ງກຸນຕີ ຜູ້ເປັນເລີດໃນຜູ້ປົກຄອງ—ລາວຈະເຖິງພຣະທຳອັນສູງສຸດ ທີ່ຍາກຈະເຂົ້າເຖິງ».
भीष्म उवाच
True knowledge (tattva) joined with yogic discipline culminates in samādhi; through that inner steadiness one transcends bodily identity and, upon leaving the body, reaches the difficult-to-attain supreme state (liberation).
In the Śānti Parva instruction scene, Bhīṣma addresses Yudhiṣṭhira (son of Kuntī), explaining the spiritual path: like a skilled pilot bringing a boat to shore, the yogin steadies the mind in the Self/Paramātman and thereby reaches the highest goal after death.
