नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
यदानुपश्यते5त्यन्तमहन्यहनि काश्यप । तदा स केवलीभूत: षड्विंशमनुपश्यति
yadānupaśyate ’tyantam ahany ahani kāśyapa | tadā sa kevalībhūtaḥ ṣaḍviṁśam anupaśyati ||
Sinabi ni Yājñavalkya: “O Kāśyapa, kapag ang naghahanap, araw-araw, ay nagmumuni at nagbubulay nang sukdulang taimtim sa tunay na kalikasan ng Kataas-taasang Sarili, kung magkagayon—sa pagiging ‘nag-iisa’ (malaya sa anumang ugnay sa Prakṛti)—direkta niyang natatanto ang ika-dalawampu’t anim na prinsipyo: ang Kataas-taasang Panginoon na lampas sa dalawampu’t limang tattva.”

Educational Q&A
Persistent, daily contemplation of the Supreme Self leads to detachment from Prakṛti and culminates in direct realization of the transcendent ‘twenty-sixth’ principle—God/the Supreme beyond the standard Sāṅkhya enumeration.
In a didactic exchange, the sage Yājñavalkya instructs Kāśyapa about the inner discipline of continuous contemplation and its fruit: freedom from Prakṛti’s entanglement and realization of the highest reality.
