FAQs
It declares that unwavering remembrance of Nārāyaṇa combined with renunciation of possessiveness (parigraha) dissolves saṃsāric bondage; such devotees are intrinsically oriented toward mokṣa.
Bhakti is presented as continuous smaraṇa (anusmaraṇa) of Nārāyaṇa; when devotion is steady, even incidental contact with worldly influences cannot firmly bind the devotee.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-based—daily discipline of smaraṇa and cultivation of vairāgya (non-possessiveness).
