Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 141
Jyotiṣa-saṅgraha: Varga-vibhāga, Bala-nirṇaya, Garbha-phala, Āyuḥ-gaṇanā
दशागुणैर्हता भक्त्या गुणैक्येन समागताः । शेषेऽर्कादिहते भक्ते मासाद्यैक्येन नारद ॥ १४१ ॥
daśāguṇairhatā bhaktyā guṇaikyena samāgatāḥ | śeṣe'rkādihate bhakte māsādyaikyena nārada || 141 ||
Cuando la bhakti ha sometido la multiplicidad décuple de las cualidades (guṇas), se alcanza la unidad de los guṇas. Y cuando el resto de esa devoción es consumido aún más—como la impureza quemada por el Sol—entonces, oh Nārada, en el plazo de un mes se llega a la plena unicidad con el Supremo.

FAQs
It describes bhakti as a purifying force that first integrates and subdues the many guṇa-based tendencies, and then even dissolves the final residue of egoic devotion, culminating in non-dual oneness and liberation.
Bhakti is shown as progressive: it overcomes scattered qualities and mental multiplicity, then—once refined—burns the last subtle trace of separateness, leading to complete spiritual unity.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught directly; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-psychology—systematic purification of guṇas through sustained devotion until even subtle attachment is exhausted.
