「ジュニャーナ（知）はモークシャ（解脱）を授ける」と人々は説く。その知はヨーギーに具わるべきである。さらにヨーガは二種と宣言され、カルマ（行為）の道とジュニャーナ（知）の道とに分かれる。

FAQs
The verse establishes liberating knowledge (jñāna) as the direct means to moksha and frames yoga as a disciplined approach that culminates in such knowledge.
Bhakti is not named here, but the verse sets the framework often used in Purāṇic teaching: disciplined action (karma) and liberating knowledge (jñāna) can function as preparatory or complementary supports that, in many Narada Purana contexts, mature into devotion-centered realization.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is the doctrinal classification of sādhanā into karma-yoga (duty/ritual-based discipline) and jñāna-yoga (inquiry-based discipline).
