Adhyaya 40 — The Yogin’s Impediments (Upasargas), Subtle Concentrations, and the Eight Siddhis
मुक्तिसंसूचकं भूप ! परं निर्वाणमात्मनः ।
ततो न जायते नैव वर्धते न विनश्यति ॥
muktisaṃsūcakaṃ bhūpa! paraṃ nirvāṇam ātmanaḥ / tato na jāyate naiva vardhate na vinaśyati
राजन्, आत्मनः परं निर्वाणं मोक्षलक्षणम्। ततः परं न जायते, न वर्धते, न विनश्यति॥

Liberation is described as realizing the Self’s changelessness: beyond birth, growth, and death. The ethical implication is steadiness (dhairya) and detachment from transient conditions.
Upadeśa on mokṣa; not a pancalakṣaṇa element.
The triad ‘not born / not growing / not perishing’ negates temporal predicates, pointing to the ātman as akṛta (unmade) and kāla-atīta (beyond time).
