Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 95
Bharata’s Attachment and the Palanquin Teaching on ‘I’ and ‘Mine’
एवं व्यवस्थिते तत्त्वे मयाहमिति भावितुम् । पृथकूचरणनिष्पाद्यं शक्यं तु नृपते कथम् ॥ ९५ ॥
evaṃ vyavasthite tattve mayāhamiti bhāvitum | pṛthakūcaraṇaniṣpādyaṃ śakyaṃ tu nṛpate katham || 95 ||
جب حقیقت (تتّو) اس طرح قائم ہو جائے تو اے نرپتے، ‘میں’ اور ‘میرا’ کا گمان کیسے باقی رہ سکتا ہے، گویا اسے جداگانہ کوشش سے پیدا کر کے قائم رکھنا ہو؟

FAQs
It points out that once tattva (ultimate Reality) is rightly understood, the ego-notion of “I” and “mine” cannot be legitimately sustained; liberation follows from seeing that separateness is not ultimately real.
By undermining “mine-ness,” it supports surrender (śaraṇāgati): devotion matures when one stops claiming independent doership and possessiveness, offering the self and actions to the Supreme.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is inner discipline—reducing ahamkāra and mamakāra through discernment (viveka) and detachment (vairāgya).
