Utkramaṇa-sthāna and Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa: Yājñavalkya’s Instruction on Departure Pathways and Mortality Signs
यदेव योगा: पश्यन्ति सांख्यैस्तदनुगम्यते । एकं सांख्यं च योगं च य: पश्यति स बुद्धिमान्
yad eva yogāḥ paśyanti sāṅkhyais tad anugamyate | ekaṃ sāṅkhyaṃ ca yogaṃ ca yaḥ paśyati sa buddhimān |
ວະສິດຖະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ຄວາມເປັນຈິງອັນນັ້ນແຫຼະ ທີ່ບັນດາໂຢກີເຫັນໂດຍກົງ ບັນດາຜູ້ຮູ້ຊາງຄະຍະກໍເຂົ້າເຖິງໄດ້ດ້ວຍປັນຍາແຫ່ງການແຍກແຍະ. ຜູ້ມີປັນຍາແທ້ ແມ່ນຜູ້ທີ່ເຫັນຊາງຄະຍະ ແລະ ໂຢກະ ເປັນອັນດຽວກັນໃນຜົນ—ແມ່ນວິທີຕ່າງກັນ ແຕ່ມຸ່ງໄປສູ່ສັດຈະສູງສຸດອັນດຽວ.»
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Sāṅkhya and Yoga are presented as two complementary disciplines that culminate in the same realization of the highest Reality; wisdom lies in recognizing their unity in result rather than insisting on a sectarian difference of method.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Vasiṣṭha speaks as a teacher, clarifying philosophical harmony: yogic direct realization and Sāṅkhya’s discriminative knowledge converge on the same truth, so the listener should not treat them as ultimately opposed.
