FAQs
This verse presents dharma, artha, kāma, and even mokṣa as fruits that ultimately arise from the Supreme (Vishnu), placing all human aims under His sovereignty.
Parāśara suggests that since even liberation is merely a fruit proceeding from Him, ordinary categories and praise fall short—language cannot fully circumscribe the Infinite.
Vishnu is implied as the transcendent source of all goals and their fulfillment, affirming a Vaishnava view of the Supreme Reality as both the giver of results and beyond all results.
