FAQs
The verse highlights the power of supreme grace to grant anuttama moksha not only to an individual but even to an entire lineage, emphasizing liberation as a divine bestowal aligned with dharma.
By portraying moksha as something “bestowed,” it implies surrender and seeking divine favor—core bhakti attitudes—where the seeker appeals humbly for the same liberating compassion.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical alignment with sarva-dharma (righteous conduct) as the basis for receiving liberating grace.
