Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 8
Śuka’s Yoga-ascent, the Echo of ‘Bhoḥ’, and the Vaikuṇṭha Vision
यत्र वैयासकिर्द्धाम्नि योक्तुं समुपचक्रमे । स ददर्श तदात्मानं सर्वसंगविनिःसृतः ॥ ८ ॥
yatra vaiyāsakirddhāmni yoktuṃ samupacakrame | sa dadarśa tadātmānaṃ sarvasaṃgaviniḥsṛtaḥ || 8 ||
Doon, nang si Vaiyāsaki ay nagsimulang pumasok sa sariling panloob na tahanan—ang kalagayan ng pagkalubog sa samādhi—nasaksihan niya ang mismong Sarili, matapos ganap na kumalas sa lahat ng pagkakapit.

FAQs
It states that true Self-vision arises when one enters inner absorption and becomes entirely free from worldly attachments (sarva-saṅga), pointing to moksha through direct realization.
Though framed in jñāna-yoga language, it supports bhakti by implying that attachment must be purified; single-pointed inward union becomes possible when the heart is detached from distractions and oriented to the highest Reality.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught in this line; the practical takeaway is yogic discipline—cultivating vairāgya (detachment) as a prerequisite for steady meditation and realization.
