FAQs
It emphasizes that even after the experience of worldly enjoyments (bhoga), liberation is attained through the presence of realized knowledge (jñāna); the decisive factor is inner awakening, not mere circumstance.
While the verse explicitly highlights jñāna and mokṣa, it aligns with the Purāṇic teaching that mature devotion purifies the heart and culminates in liberating knowledge—so bhakti is implied as a purifier that can lead to jñāna and freedom.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is named; the practical takeaway is the dharmic principle of karma-phala (results of actions) and the primacy of jñāna for mokṣa beyond ritual reward.
