सनन्दन बोले—उनके उपदेश से वह राजश्रेष्ठ, परमार्थ-दृष्टि से युक्त होकर, भेद-बुद्धि का त्याग कर बैठा। और जाति-स्मरण से उत्पन्न बोध पाकर उसी जन्म में अपवर्ग अर्थात् मोक्ष को प्राप्त हुआ।

FAQs
It states that right instruction culminates in paramārtha-dṛṣṭi (vision of ultimate reality), by which one drops bheda-buddhi (the sense of separateness) and can attain apavarga (final liberation) even within the same lifetime.
While the verse speaks in the language of jñāna (non-difference and ultimate vision), in the Narada Purana this maturity typically supports pure devotion—because seeing the one Reality removes egoic separation, making surrender and single-pointed worship natural and unwavering.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-oriented—listen to true instruction (upadeśa), cultivate paramārtha-dṛṣṭi, and practice inner discernment that dissolves bheda-buddhi.
