Sanatkumāra’s Bhāgavata Tantra: Tattvas, Māyā-Bonds, Embodiment, and the Necessity of Dīkṣā
दीक्षाज्ञानाख्यया शक्त्या ह्यपध्वंसितबन्धनः । शुद्धात्मतत्त्वनामासौ निर्वाणपदमश्नुते ॥ १०८ ॥
dīkṣājñānākhyayā śaktyā hyapadhvaṃsitabandhanaḥ | śuddhātmatattvanāmāsau nirvāṇapadamaśnute || 108 ||
Nhờ năng lực gọi là dīkṣā-jñāna (tri kiến do thọ pháp), mọi trói buộc của người ấy bị tiêu diệt hoàn toàn; an trú trong thực tại thanh tịnh của Chân Ngã, người ấy đạt đến cảnh giới niết-bàn (nirvāṇa).

It states that true initiation is not merely ceremonial—when it becomes ‘dīkṣā-jñāna’ (initiation as liberating knowledge), it destroys bondage and culminates in nirvāṇa through realization of the pure Self.
While the verse speaks in the language of jñāna, it supports the Purāṇic view that authentic spiritual transmission (often received in a devotional lineage) purifies the seeker and removes bondage, enabling the final liberation that bhakti aims toward.
The focus is not on a specific Vedāṅga technique (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) but on the inner purpose behind ritual and initiation: transforming practice into liberating knowledge that cuts bondage.
