Sanandana berkata: Setelah diajar demikian olehnya, raja yang paling utama itu—dengan penglihatan terhadap Kebenaran Tertinggi—meninggalkan segala sangkaan perbezaan. Dan setelah tersedar akan pengetahuan yang lahir daripada ingatan kelahiran lampau, baginda mencapai moksha dalam kehidupan itu juga.

FAQs
It states that right instruction culminates in paramārtha-dṛṣṭi (vision of ultimate reality), by which one drops bheda-buddhi (the sense of separateness) and can attain apavarga (final liberation) even within the same lifetime.
While the verse speaks in the language of jñāna (non-difference and ultimate vision), in the Narada Purana this maturity typically supports pure devotion—because seeing the one Reality removes egoic separation, making surrender and single-pointed worship natural and unwavering.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-oriented—listen to true instruction (upadeśa), cultivate paramārtha-dṛṣṭi, and practice inner discernment that dissolves bheda-buddhi.
