Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 33
Bharata’s Attachment and the Palanquin Teaching on ‘I’ and ‘Mine’
अपश्यत्स मुनिश्रेष्टः स्वात्मानं प्रकृतेः परम् । आत्मनोधिगतज्ञानाद्द्वेवादीनि महामुने ॥ ३३ ॥
apaśyatsa muniśreṣṭaḥ svātmānaṃ prakṛteḥ param | ātmanodhigatajñānāddvevādīni mahāmune || 33 ||
Dann schaute der beste der Weisen sein eigenes Selbst (Ātman) als die Prakṛti übersteigend. Und, o großer Muni, durch das im Selbst verwirklichte Wissen wurden Hass und die übrigen quälenden Regungen vertrieben.

FAQs
It states that liberation begins when the sage directly realizes the Self as beyond material nature (Prakṛti); this inner realization naturally dissolves hatred and related mental afflictions.
While framed in jñāna language, it supports bhakti by showing that inner purity is essential: when the Self is known, negative emotions like dveṣa fall away, making steady devotion and loving remembrance possible.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is yogic-vedāntic discipline—cultivating self-knowledge to remove dveṣa and other inner obstacles.
