Manvantaras and Indras; Sudharmā’s Liberation through Viṣṇu-Pradakṣiṇā; Supremacy of Hari-Bhakti
नारायणानुस्मरणोद्यतानां महात्मनां त्यक्तपरिग्रहणाम् । कथं भवत्युग्रभवस्य बंधस्तत्सङ्गलुब्धा यदि मुक्तिभाजः ॥ ५० ॥

Bagi jiwa-jiwa agung yang sentiasa bersungguh-sungguh mengingati Nārāyaṇa dan telah meninggalkan rasa memiliki, bagaimana mungkin ada belenggu yang lahir daripada gelora kewujudan duniawi yang ganas? Walaupun mereka tertarik ke dalam pergaulan itu, mereka tetap menjadi pewaris moksha (pembebasan).

FAQs
It declares that unwavering remembrance of Nārāyaṇa combined with renunciation of possessiveness (parigraha) dissolves saṃsāric bondage; such devotees are intrinsically oriented toward mokṣa.
Bhakti is presented as continuous smaraṇa (anusmaraṇa) of Nārāyaṇa; when devotion is steady, even incidental contact with worldly influences cannot firmly bind the devotee.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-based—daily discipline of smaraṇa and cultivation of vairāgya (non-possessiveness).
