Brahmopadeśa on Saṃnyāsa, Tapas, and Jñāna (ब्रह्मोपदेशः—संन्यासतपोज्ञानविमर्शः)
तपसा क्षेममध्वानं गच्छन्ति परमे श्वरम् । संन्यासनिरता नित्यं ये च ब्रह्म॒ुविदो जना:
tapasā kṣemamadhvānaṃ gacchanti parameśvaram | saṃnyāsaniratā nityaṃ ye ca brahmavido janāḥ ||
বায়ুদেব বললেন—যাঁরা নিত্য সন্ন্যাসে রত এবং ব্রহ্মকে যথার্থ জানেন, তাঁরা তপস্যায় সুদৃঢ় কল্যাণময় পথে অগ্রসর হয়ে পরমেশ্বরকে লাভ করেন।

Educational Q&A
Austerity (tapas) coupled with constant renunciation (saṃnyāsa) and Brahman-knowledge is presented as the auspicious path that leads to realization/attainment of the Supreme Lord (Parameśvara). Ethical purification and disciplined restraint are treated as the practical means to the highest end.
Vāyudeva is speaking, describing the spiritual qualification and practice of certain seekers—those devoted to renunciation and established in Brahman-knowledge—and stating the result of their path: they attain the Supreme Lord.
