Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
कश्यपस्य पितुश्चैव पूर्वमेव मया श्रुतम् । मैंने मुनिवर जैगीषव्य

Wika ni Yājñavalkya: “Matagal ko nang narinig ang aral na ito—mula sa aking ama na si Kaśyapa, at mula rin sa ama ni Kaśyapa. Narinig ko ito mula sa mga dakilang pantas: Jaigīṣavya, Asita, Devala, ang brahmarṣi na si Parāśara, ang marunong na si Vārṣagaṇya, Bhṛgu, Pañcaśikha, Kapila, Śuka, Gautama, Ārdaśiṣeṇa, si Garga na dakila ang loob, Nārada, Āsuri, ang marunong na si Pulastya, Sanatkumāra, at si Śukra na dakila ang loob. Pagkaraan pa, natamo ko rin ang ganap na kaalamang ito mula rito’t roon—mula kay Rudra na may anyong pangkalahatan, mula sa marunong na si Viśvarūpa, at mula sa iba pang mga diyos, sa mga Pitṛ (mga ninunong nilalang), at maging sa mga Daitya. Ipinahahayag nilang lahat na ang Dapat-Mabatid na Katotohanan ay buo at walang hanggan.”

Educational Q&A
That the highest ‘knowable Reality’ (jñeya-tattva) is described by many authoritative sources as complete and eternal, and that true knowledge is validated through broad, time-tested transmission across sages and even different classes of beings.
Yājñavalkya strengthens his exposition by listing the many teachers from whom he has heard and confirmed this doctrine—his familial lineage, celebrated sages, and later even divine, ancestral, and daitya sources—showing that the teaching is widely attested and consistently characterized as eternal.
