Educational Q&A
Exclusive, unwavering devotion (ekāntitā) to Nārāyaṇa leads the devotee to attain the supreme Lord—identified with the highest Brahman—emphasizing spiritual single-mindedness as a direct path to liberation.
Vaiśampāyana, continuing the Śānti Parva discourse, describes the destiny of Nārāyaṇa-devoted ascetics: they ‘go to’ (attain) Acyuta, portrayed as supremely pure and moon-bright, framing devotion as the culminating spiritual attainment.
