अवाप मुक्तिं ज्ञानात्स तथा त्वं मुक्तिमाप्स्यसि एकः समस्तं त्वञ्चाहं विष्णुः सर्वगतो यतः
avāpa muktiṃ jñānātsa tathā tvaṃ muktimāpsyasi ekaḥ samastaṃ tvañcāhaṃ viṣṇuḥ sarvagato yataḥ
ਉਸ ਨੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਨਾਲ ਮੁਕਤੀ ਪਾਈ; ਤੂੰ ਵੀ ਮੁਕਤੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰੇਂਗਾ। ਇਕ ਹੀ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਹੈ; ਤੂੰ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਉਹੀ ਸਰਬ-ਵਿਆਪੀ ਵਿਸ਼ਨੂ ਹਾਂ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਹ ਹਰ ਥਾਂ ਹੈ।

FAQs
It imparts jñāna-vidyā (knowledge of the all-pervading supreme Self/Viṣṇu) as the direct means to mokṣa, emphasizing realization rather than external ritual technique.
Alongside ritual, governance, medicine, and arts, the Agni Purāṇa also preserves concise mokṣa-śāstra: a Vedāntic, non-dual teaching identifying the One Reality as all-pervading Viṣṇu and presenting liberation as knowledge-based.
It frames liberation as the फल (result) of right knowledge—dissolving the sense of separateness—thereby cutting bondage at its root rather than merely accumulating ritual merit.
