Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
यदा स केवलीभूत: षड्विंशमनुपश्यति । तदा स सर्वविद् विद्वान् न पुनर्जन्म विन्दति
yadā sa kevalībhūtaḥ ṣaḍviṁśam anupaśyati | tadā sa sarvavid vidvān na punarjanma vindati ||
阎若伐迦说道：“当自我全然孤绝——脱离与普拉克里蒂（Prakṛti，物质自然）的一切接触——而直接观见第二十六原理（超越显现诸类的至上者）之时，那知者便于智慧中成就真正的遍知，不再回到此世受生。”

Educational Q&A
Liberation comes when the self becomes detached from prakṛti and directly realizes the supreme principle (the 'twenty-sixth'). Such realization culminates in freedom from saṁsāra—no further rebirth.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, Yājñavalkya is explaining a metaphysical criterion of mokṣa: the moment of direct vision of the highest reality after complete inner detachment.
