Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
एवमेक॑ सांख्ययोगं वेदारण्यकमेव च
evaṁ ekaṁ sāṅkhyayogaṁ vedāraṇyakam eva ca | pañcarātrāgamaṁ caiva bhaktimārga-pradarśakam || ete sarve śāstrāṇi ekalakṣya-sādhakāni iti ekam ucyante | anyonyāṅgāni caite | sarvakarmāṇi bhagavato nārāyaṇasya caraṇāravindeṣu samarpayitum ekānta-bhaktānāṁ dharmaḥ ||
毗舍波耶那说：如是，数论教人辨别真我与非我；瑜伽教人制御心识之诸变；吠陀之阿兰若迦部（即《奥义书》）昭示个我与梵本无二；而《般遮罗多罗》传统则阐明奉爱之道——此诸教法皆被称为“一”，因为同趋一旨。它们彼此扶持，互为肢分。对一心专奉者而言，真正的法就是将一切行为尽皆奉献于那罗延尊主的莲华足下。

Educational Q&A
Different spiritual disciplines—Sāṅkhya (discernment), Yoga (mental restraint), Upaniṣadic wisdom (non-duality of jīva and brahman), and Pañcarātra devotion—are not competing systems but complementary means toward one goal; for the one-pointed devotee, the culmination is dedicating all actions to Nārāyaṇa.
In Vaiśampāyana’s discourse within the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, he synthesizes multiple śāstric approaches and frames them as mutually supportive, concluding with a devotional ethic of offering every deed to the Lord.
