Educational Q&A

Yājñavalkya identifies this as the ‘fourth’ doctrine aimed at the highest welfare beyond death, grounding it in the framework of the twenty-five tattvas—an analytical, Sāṃkhya-like account meant to cultivate discrimination and liberation-oriented understanding.

In a didactic exchange within Śānti Parva, Yājñavalkya addresses a king respectfully and concludes or marks a section of instruction, stating that he has taught a doctrine concerning the hereafter, structured upon the twenty-five principles.
