यथा संमुच्यते जंतुरविद्याबंधनान्मुने । तथा कथय सर्वज्ञ मोक्षधर्मं सदाश्रितम् ॥ ३ ॥
yathā saṃmucyate jaṃturavidyābaṃdhanānmune | tathā kathaya sarvajña mokṣadharmaṃ sadāśritam || 3 ||
ହେ ମୁନି! ଜୀବ ଅବିଦ୍ୟା-ବନ୍ଧନରୁ କିପରି ମୁକ୍ତ ହୁଏ, ହେ ସର୍ବଜ୍ଞ, ସେପରି କହନ୍ତୁ; ଏବଂ ସଦା ଆଶ୍ରୟ ମୋକ୍ଷଧର୍ମକୁ ଉପଦେଶ କରନ୍ତୁ।

It frames the central Moksha-dharma inquiry: liberation is defined as freedom from avidyā (ignorance), and the seeker requests a dependable, authoritative method to attain that release.
While this verse is primarily a request for mokṣa-dharma, its thrust supports Bhakti-based teaching that follows in such dialogues: the seeker asks for a sure refuge (sadāśrita) that reliably breaks ignorance—often fulfilled in Narada Purana through devotion and surrender to the Supreme (commonly Vishnu/Narayana in broader context).
No specific Vedanga (Śikṣā, Vyākaraṇa, Chandas, Nirukta, Jyotiṣa, Kalpa) is taught in this verse; it is a doctrinal question setting up the mokṣa framework rather than a technical instruction.
