Saṃhāra-krama (The Sequence of Cosmic Dissolution) — Yājñavalkya’s Discourse
तद्वदात्मसमाधानं युक्त्वा योगेन तत्त्ववित् । दुर्गमें स्थानमाप्नोति हित्वा देहमिमं नूप
tadvad ātma-samādhānaṁ yuktvā yogena tattvavit | durgame sthānam āpnoti hitvā deham imaṁ nūpa, kuntī-kumāra! nṛpa-śreṣṭha! |
毗湿摩说道：“同样，知真实者以瑜伽使自我系于安定的入定（三摩地），便能证得那难至之境。舍此身后，王啊——昆蒂之子、诸侯之最胜者——他将抵达至上的住处，那不可轻易企及的境界。”

Educational Q&A
True knowledge (tattva) joined with yogic discipline culminates in samādhi; through that inner steadiness one transcends bodily identity and, upon leaving the body, reaches the difficult-to-attain supreme state (liberation).
In the Śānti Parva instruction scene, Bhīṣma addresses Yudhiṣṭhira (son of Kuntī), explaining the spiritual path: like a skilled pilot bringing a boat to shore, the yogin steadies the mind in the Self/Paramātman and thereby reaches the highest goal after death.
