FAQs
It asserts the sufficiency and certainty of dhyāna (meditation) as a direct means to siddhi, and introduces a practical instruction (sādhana) meant for universal welfare.

The verse signals a methodical, teachable “sādhana” framework—consistent with Vedāṅga-style systematic discipline—though it does not specify a particular Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) in this line.
