नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
ब्रह्मलोकमें गये हुए महर्षि भी आपकी महिमाका वर्णन करते हैं। तपनेवाले तेजस्वी ग्रहोंके पति अदितिनन्दन सनातन भगवान् सूर्यने आपको वेदका उपदेश किया है ।।
brahmalokeṁ gateṣu mahārṣiṣu ’pi bhavato mahimānaṁ varṇayanti | tapanevale tejasvino grahāṇāṁ patiḥ aditinandanaḥ sanātano bhagavān sūryas tvāṁ vedam upadiṣṭavān || sāṅkhyajñānaṁ tvayā brahman avāptaṁ kṛtsnam eva ca | tathaiva yogaśāstraṁ ca yājñavalkya viśeṣataḥ ||
即便已至梵天界(Brahmaloka)的诸大圣仙,也在称述你的伟大。永恒的主宰苏利耶(Sūrya)——阿底提之子,光辉的苦行者,众星辰之主——曾以吠陀教诲你。而你,婆罗门啊,阎若婆罗迦啊,也已圆满获得数论(Sāṅkhya)之全知,并且对瑜伽论典(Yoga-śāstra)亦有独特而卓绝的通达。

The verse affirms the ideal of complete spiritual learning: Vedic revelation supported by disciplined inquiry (Sāṅkhya) and practical realization (Yoga). It presents Yājñavalkya as a model sage whose authority rests on both divine instruction (from Sūrya) and comprehensive mastery of philosophical and yogic disciplines.
Yājñavalkya is being addressed and praised: even Brahmaloka-dwelling seers extol his greatness, and Sūrya is cited as his Vedic teacher. The speaker highlights that Yājñavalkya has attained full Sāṅkhya knowledge and special proficiency in Yoga-śāstra, establishing his credibility within the Śānti Parva’s didactic setting.
