FAQs
It signals that the text is cataloging Purāṇic knowledge and then turns to a key Vedāntic-Purāṇic principle: beings attain different outcomes according to their dominant association with sattva, rajas, and tamas.
By pointing to guṇa-association as the driver of destiny, it implies that cultivating sattva through sādhana—especially devotion and purity—elevates one’s gati, while rajasic/tamasic tendencies lead to lower outcomes.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; it is primarily a doctrinal summary (siddhānta) about guṇas and their karmic-spiritual consequences.
