नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
तत्रोपनिषदं चैव परिशेषं च पार्थिव । मथ्नामि मनसा तात दृष्ट्वा चान्वीक्षिकीं पराम्
tatro'paniṣadaṃ caiva pariśeṣaṃ ca pārthiva | mathnāmi manasā tāta dṛṣṭvā cānvīkṣikīṃ parām ||
阎若婆迦(Yājñavalkya)说道:“在那里,哦,大王——亲爱的孩子——我观览了《奥义书》的教诲及其补遗,又审察了至上的理性探究之学——阿难毗迦悉迦(Ānvīkṣikī)。于是我在心中反复搅炼这一切,欲从中榨取其精要之义。”
याज़्ञवल्क्य उवाच
True understanding is not gained by merely possessing sacred texts; it arises from reflective assimilation—‘churning’ the Upaniṣadic teaching together with its supplementary explanations through disciplined inquiry (ānvīkṣikī) to extract the essence that guides right living and liberation.
Yājñavalkya addresses a king affectionately and describes his own method of study: he examines the Upaniṣads and related supplementary material, then engages the highest rational inquiry, internally processing the teachings to arrive at their distilled meaning.
