Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 60
Anadhyaya and the Winds: From Vedic Recitation Protocol to Sanatkumara’s Moksha-Upadesha
किंचिन्प्रज्ञानतृप्तोऽसौ ज्ञानतृप्तो न शोचति । शुभैर्लभेत देवत्वं व्यामिश्रैर्जन्म मानुषम् ॥ ६० ॥
kiṃcinprajñānatṛpto'sau jñānatṛpto na śocati | śubhairlabheta devatvaṃ vyāmiśrairjanma mānuṣam || 60 ||
যে সামান্য হলেও প্রজ্ঞায় তৃপ্ত এবং সত্য জ্ঞানে পরিপূর্ণ, সে শোক করে না। নির্মল শুভ কর্মে দেবত্ব লাভ হয়, আর মিশ্র কর্মে মানবজন্ম।

No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical discernment—classifying actions as śubha (pure) or vyāmiśra (mixed) to understand karma-phala and guide conduct.
