FAQs
It declares nirvāṇa-mukti as the supreme human goal (parama-śreyas) and presents it as the highest purifier, urging unwavering conviction rather than endless doubt.

No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa ritual procedure) is taught here; the practical takeaway is mental discipline—avoiding vacillation (vicāraṇā as doubt) in pursuing moksha.
