Gaṅgā-māhātmya
अंते ज्ञानासिना छित्वा अविद्यां पंचपर्विकाम् । परं वैराग्यमापन्नः परं ब्रह्माधिगच्छति ॥ ५७ ॥
aṃte jñānāsinā chitvā avidyāṃ paṃcaparvikām | paraṃ vairāgyamāpannaḥ paraṃ brahmādhigacchati || 57 ||
अन्ते ज्ञानासिना पञ्चपर्विकामविद्यां छित्वा, परं वैराग्यमापन्नः स परं ब्रह्माधिगच्छति।
Narada (teaching in a moksha-oriented instruction within the Narada Purana narrative tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It states the liberation principle: ignorance (avidyā) is destroyed by true knowledge (jñāna), and when this culminates in supreme dispassion (vairāgya), the seeker realizes the Supreme Brahman.
While the verse speaks in jñāna-vairāgya language, in Purāṇic framing it supports bhakti by implying that mature devotion purifies attachment, produces vairāgya, and culminates in direct realization of the Supreme.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-oriented—cultivating viveka (discernment) and vairāgya as the applied method for removing avidyā.
