Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
यदानुपश्यते5त्यन्तमहन्यहनि काश्यप । तदा स केवलीभूत: षड्विंशमनुपश्यति
yadānupaśyate ’tyantam ahany ahani kāśyapa | tadā sa kevalībhūtaḥ ṣaḍviṁśam anupaśyati ||
阎若伐迦说道：“噢，迦叶（Kāśyapa）啊，当求道者日复一日，以至极的专注观想至上自性（至尊我）的真实本相时，他便成为‘独一者’——脱离与原质（Prakṛti）的一切系缚——并直接证悟第二十六原理：超越二十五种本原（tattva）之上的至上主。”

Educational Q&A
Persistent, daily contemplation of the Supreme Self leads to detachment from Prakṛti and culminates in direct realization of the transcendent ‘twenty-sixth’ principle—God/the Supreme beyond the standard Sāṅkhya enumeration.
In a didactic exchange, the sage Yājñavalkya instructs Kāśyapa about the inner discipline of continuous contemplation and its fruit: freedom from Prakṛti’s entanglement and realization of the highest reality.
