Saṃhāra-krama (The Sequence of Cosmic Dissolution) — Yājñavalkya’s Discourse
यथा चानिमिषा: स्थूला जाल छित्त्वा पुनर्जलम् । प्राप्रुवन्ति तथा योगास्तत् पं वीतकल्मषा:
yathā cānimiṣāḥ sthūlā jālaṃ chittvā punar jalam | prāpnuvanti tathā yogās tat-padaṃ vīta-kalmaṣāḥ ||
பெரிய, இமைக்காத மீன்கள் வலையை அறுத்து மீண்டும் நீரில் கலப்பதுபோல், யோகிகள் பாவக் களங்கத்தை நீக்கி அந்தப் பரமபதத்தை அடைகிறார்கள்.

Educational Q&A
Through disciplined yoga and inner purification, one can cut through binding entanglements (like a net) and attain the highest state—freedom from sin and union with the supreme reality.
Bhīṣma instructs by analogy: as strong fish escape a net and return to their natural element (water), so yogins, freed from moral and mental impurities, transcend worldly bonds and reach the supreme abode.
