Mukti· LiberationRespectfully Ask About Freedom From Reactions
“Śrī Vasudeva said: Obeisances to you, the residence of all the demigods. Please hear me, O sages. Kindly tell us how the reactions of one’s work can be counteracted by further work.”
What the purport teaches
- Vasudeva offered obeisances to the sages and addressed them as the residence of all the demigods.
- The purport confirms this description through the śruti-mantras: all demigods reside in a brāhmaṇa who knows the Veda.
- Vasudeva asked how the reactions of work could be counteracted by further work. He requested instruction rather than assuming he knew the answer.
