स्थिरत्वादिन्द्रियाणां तु निश्चलत्वात् तथैव च | एवं युक्तस्य तु मुनेर्लक्षणान्युपलक्षयेत्
sthiratvād indriyāṇāṁ tu niścalatvāt tathaiva ca | evaṁ yuktasya tu muner lakṣaṇāny upalakṣayet ||
इंद्रियांच्या स्थैर्यामुळे आणि मनाच्या निश्चलतेमुळे—अशा प्रकारे योगयुक्त मुनीची लक्षणे ओळखावीत.

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is that the authentic sign of yogic attainment is unwavering steadiness: when the senses are stabilized and the mind is unshaken, the sage remains established in samādhi despite external provocations.
Yājñavalkya is instructing about how to पहचान/recognize (upalakṣayet) a truly disciplined muni: not by outward display, but by the inner criterion of stable senses and an immovable mind that does not fall away from meditative absorption.
