Vānaprastha-vṛtti and the Transition toward the Fourth Āśrama (वानप्रस्थवृत्तिः चतुर्थाश्रमोपक्रमश्च)
पज्चविंशति तत्त्वानि तुल्यान्युभयत: समम् | योगे सांख्येडपि च तथा विशेषं तत्र मे शूणु
pañcaviṃśati tattvāni tulyāny ubhayataḥ samam | yoge sāṅkhye 'pi ca tathā viśeṣaṃ tatra me śṛṇu ||
毗耶娑说道：“在瑜伽与数论之中，同样的二十五谛（原则）都以平等、等同的方式被宣说。现在，你当从我这里听那其中应当领会的差别要点。”

Educational Q&A
Both Sāṅkhya and Pātañjala Yoga accept an equivalent framework of twenty-five tattvas (fundamental principles). The speaker then signals that, despite this shared ontology, there is a specific distinguishing feature between the two that will be explained next.
In the didactic setting of the Śānti Parva, Vyāsa is instructing the listener by comparing two major philosophical systems. He first establishes their common ground (the same set of tattvas) and then prepares to clarify their doctrinal difference.
