नारद–शुक संवादः (Nārada–Śuka Dialogue): Tyāga, Saṃyama, and Vyakta–Avyakta Viveka
यावद्धि प्रलयस्तात सूक्ष्मेणाष्टगुणेन ह । योगेन लोकान् विचरन् सुखं संन्यस्य चानघ,प्रिय निष्पाप भूपाल! जबतक मृत्यु न हो जाय, तबतक ही योगी योगबलसे स्थूल शरीरको यहीं छोड़कर अष्टविध ऐश्वर्यसे युक्त सूक्ष्मशरीरके द्वारा लोक-लोकान्तरोंमें सुखपूर्वक विचरण करता है
yāvad dhi pralayas tāta sūkṣmeṇāṣṭaguṇena ha | yogena lokān vicaran sukhaṃ saṃnyasya cānagha ||
യാജ്ഞവൽക്ക്യൻ പറഞ്ഞു—പ്രിയ നിർപാപ ഭൂപാലാ! പ്രളയം—അഥവാ മരണം—വരുന്നതുവരെ, യോഗി യോഗബലത്താൽ സ്ഥൂലദേഹം ഇവിടെ തന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച്, അഷ്ടഗുണസമ്പന്നമായ സൂക്ഷ്മദേഹത്താൽ ലോകലോകാന്തരങ്ങളിൽ സുഖത്തോടെ സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നു.

Educational Q&A
Through yoga and renunciation, a yogin can function apart from the gross body and experience mobility in a subtle body endowed with extraordinary capacities; yet such powers remain within the limits of time and dissolution (pralaya). The ethical emphasis is detachment and purity, not fascination with power.
Yājñavalkya is explaining to his addressee the yogic condition in which the practitioner, leaving the gross body behind, roams among different worlds by yogic force in a subtle, eightfold-endowed form, continuing so until the destined end (pralaya/death).
