FAQs
This verse signals that the instruction being heard is not merely practical or ritual, but rooted in paramārtha—highest reality—marking the dialogue as explicitly philosophical and liberative.
By highlighting Nidāgha’s listening, reverent prostration (praṇipāta), and then response, Parāśara frames true knowledge as received through humility, attentive hearing, and disciplined inquiry.
Although Vishnu is not named in this line, the emphasis on paramārtha aligns with the Purana’s overarching theology in which the supreme reality ultimately culminates in Vishnu as the highest principle.
