FAQs
It states that liberation (parama-nirvāṇa) comes from taking the Supreme alone as one’s refuge and recognizing the Self as inherently pure consciousness, not a material or egoic identity.
By emphasizing ananya-ādhāra—exclusive dependence on the Supreme—it aligns with one-pointed devotion, where surrender and single-minded orientation to the Highest culminate in liberation.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is contemplative discernment (ātma-vicāra) and steady single-refuge practice rather than ritual or technical instruction.
