Śreyas and Paramārtha: The Ribhu–Nidāgha Teaching on Non-Dual Self
Advaita
तदेतद्भवता ज्ञात्वा मिष्टामिष्टविचारि यत् । तन्मनः शमनालबि कार्यं प्राप्यं हि मुक्तये ॥ ६३ ॥
tadetadbhavatā jñātvā miṣṭāmiṣṭavicāri yat | tanmanaḥ śamanālabi kāryaṃ prāpyaṃ hi muktaye || 63 ||
இதனை அறிந்து, இனிமை–இனிமையல்லாததை விவேகித்து, மனஅடக்கத்தில் நிலைபெறும் சாதனையை மேற்கொள்ள வேண்டும்; ஏனெனில் முக்தி அதனால் தான் பெறப்படுகிறது।
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in the Moksha-dharma dialogue)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches that liberation (moksha) is reached by cultivating viveka (discrimination of pleasant/unpleasant experiences) and by grounding one’s practice in śamana—pacifying the mind.
While not naming bhakti directly, it supports Vishnu-bhakti in practice: devotion becomes steady and pure when the mind is calmed and no longer tossed by attraction (miṣṭa) and aversion (amiṣṭa).
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught here; the practical takeaway is sadhana-oriented—apply viveka and mind-pacification (śamana) as the operative discipline leading to moksha.
