Saṃhāra-krama (The Sequence of Cosmic Dissolution) — Yājñavalkya’s Discourse
ऊर्ध्व॑ स देहात् सूव्यक्त विमुच्येदिति नान्यथा । एठदाहुर्महाप्राज्ञा: सांख्ये वै मोक्षदर्शनम्
ūrdhvaṃ sa dehāt suvyaktaṃ vimucyed iti nānyathā | etad āhur mahāprājñāḥ sāṅkhye vai mokṣa-darśanam |
毗湿摩说道：“显而易见：唯有舍弃此身之后，方能向上得解脱——别无他途。大智者宣称，数论确为‘解脱之见’：洞察世间经验的诸般行路，对诸境生起无染之心，则人在死后得自由；任何替代之法都不能真正赐予解脱（mokṣa）。”

Educational Q&A
Liberation is attained through clear discriminative knowledge and detachment (as emphasized in Sāṅkhya); release occurs after the body is cast off, and no other supposed shortcut can replace this insight-driven renunciation.
In the Śānti Parva instruction, Bhīṣma continues advising on the path to liberation, presenting the view of the great sages that Sāṅkhya—discriminating the self from material nature and becoming dispassionate toward sense-objects—is the authentic doctrine leading to mokṣa.
