FAQs
It states that liberation is marked by resting in Vedic truth and transcending the fear of aging and death, because the roots of karmic causation (merit, sin, and bodily basis) and their results are brought to an end.
While phrased in moksha-dharma terms, it supports bhakti by emphasizing śruti-pramāṇa and auspicious sacred teachings as the foundation; devotion grounded in Vedic authority matures into freedom from fear and from karma’s binding results.
The verse highlights pramāṇa (valid means of knowledge) centered on śruti—an epistemic principle used in Vedānta and śāstra study—guiding practice toward cessation of karma-phala rather than mere ritual accumulation of merit.
