Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 63
Yamapatha (The Road of Yama), Dāna-Phala, and the Imperishable Fruition of Karma
विशुद्धो निर्गुणो नित्यो मायामोहविवर्जितः । निर्गुणोऽपि परानन्दो गुणवानिव भाति यः ॥ ६३ ॥
viśuddho nirguṇo nityo māyāmohavivarjitaḥ | nirguṇo'pi parānando guṇavāniva bhāti yaḥ || 63 ||
Il est parfaitement pur, au-delà des qualités, éternel, et exempt de l’illusion de māyā. Bien qu’il soit en vérité nirguṇa, il est la béatitude suprême et paraît pourtant comme s’il possédait des qualités.

FAQs
It teaches that the Supreme Reality is eternally pure and untouched by māyā, and that divine “attributes” are an appearance for the sake of revelation and devotion, not a limitation of the Absolute.
By stating that the nirguṇa Lord can appear as if guṇavān, it legitimizes devotion to a form and qualities (saguṇa-upāsanā) while affirming that the Lord’s true nature remains transcendent and blissful.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught directly; the takeaway is doctrinal—discerning māyā-moha and understanding nirguṇa/saguṇa categories used in Vedānta-oriented instruction.
