Vānaprastha-vṛtti and the Transition toward the Fourth Āśrama (वानप्रस्थवृत्तिः चतुर्थाश्रमोपक्रमश्च)
विक्रमाश्चापि यस्यैते तथा युक्तेषु योगत: । तथा योगस्य युक्तस्य सिद्धिमात्मनि पश्यत:
vikramāś cāpi yasyaitē tathā yukteṣu yogataḥ | tathā yogasya yuktasya siddhim ātmani paśyataḥ |
毗耶娑说：“我将说明：在已入严谨修持的诸瑜伽行者之中，具此资粮者如何生起‘征服大地’等种种自在神通；我也将描述那专注的瑜伽行者在以持念（dhāraṇā）摄心而禅观时，于自我之中直接见证证悟所获得的成就。”

Educational Q&A
Vyāsa frames yogic attainments as outcomes of disciplined yoga: some appear as extraordinary powers (like worldly sovereignty), while the higher accomplishment is inner realization—directly perceiving fulfillment in the Self through concentrated meditation.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and spiritual discipline, Vyāsa announces that he will explain how specific yogic powers arise for practitioners and will also describe the deeper siddhi experienced by a meditator who perceives realization within the Self.
