Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 68
Janaka’s Quest for Liberation; Pañcaśikha’s Sāṅkhya on Renunciation, Elements, Guṇas, and the Deathless State
तस्य मार्गोऽयमद्वैधः सर्वत्यागस्य दर्शितः । विप्रहाणाय दुःखस्य दुर्गतिर्हि तथा भवेत् ॥ ६८ ॥
tasya mārgo'yamadvaidhaḥ sarvatyāgasya darśitaḥ | viprahāṇāya duḥkhasya durgatirhi tathā bhavet || 68 ||
یہی اس کا راستہ ہے—دوئی سے پاک—جو کامل ترک کے طور پر دکھایا گیا ہے۔ اس سے غم پوری طرح دور ہو جاتا ہے؛ ورنہ آدمی یقیناً بدگتی میں پڑتا ہے۔

FAQs
It defines moksha as a single, non-contradictory path: total letting-go of attachment, which directly removes sorrow; clinging leads to durgati (a degraded course of life).
While phrased as renunciation, it supports bhakti by insisting on sarvatyāga—giving up possessiveness and egoic grasping—so devotion becomes one-pointed and free from inner conflict (advaidha).
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discipline (vairagya and tyaga) as the applied method for ending duhkha.
