FAQs

Liberation is portrayed as the fruit of sustained character and practice: vigilance, purity, solitude, and sense-restraint are not accessories but the operating conditions for yoga to mature into freedom.

A mokṣa-prakaraṇa (liberation-topic) inserted into the Purāṇa’s teaching portions; not a pancalakṣaṇa narrative unit.

‘By his own yoga’ emphasizes direct realization (aparokṣa-anubhava) rather than borrowed authority; the listed virtues are the subtle ‘guards’ preventing leakage of prāṇa and attention.
