FAQs
It emphasizes satya-jñāna (true knowledge) as the antidote to moha (delusion): realizing the proclaimed divine truth—here framed as Viṣṇu’s supreme glory—stabilizes discernment and leads toward liberation.
No specific technique is named; the verse stresses jñāna-niṣṭhā—firm understanding of spiritual truth—which in the Kurma Purana’s yoga-ethic supports steady mind (non-delusion) and complements devotion and disciplined practice.
While Śiva is not explicitly mentioned, the Kurma Purana’s broader Shaiva–Vaishnava synthesis treats realization of the one सत्य (Truth) as primary; praise of Viṣṇu here functions as a doorway to non-deluded insight rather than sectarian opposition.
