== परिचयः ॥ Introduction ==
Shri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita has declared that devotion to Him is the means of attaining mukti characterized as the attainment of the Bliss of Brahman, consequent on the disappearance of the Antah-karana, the inner sense, composed of the three Gunas (Satva, Rajas and Tamas).<ref name=":1" /><blockquote>मां च योऽव्यभिचारेण भक्तियोगेन सेवते । स गुणान्समतीत्यैतान्ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते ॥१४.२६॥<ref>Bhagavad Gita, [https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE/%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%83 Chapter 14].</ref></blockquote><blockquote>''māṁ ca yo'vyabhicāreṇa bhaktiyogena sevate । sa guṇānsamatītyaitānbrahmabhūyāya kalpate ॥14.26॥''</blockquote>Meaning: He who serves me with unswerving devotion, thoroughly passing beyond the Gunas (viz.Satva, rajas and tamas), is fit for becoming Brahman.<ref name=":1" />

Commenting on this sutra Svapneshvara says, <blockquote>अत्र सा परेति लक्ष्यनिर्देशः । शेषं लक्षणम् । ... आराध्यविषयकरागत्वमेव सा (भक्तिः) । इह तु परमेश्वरविषयकान्तःकरणवृत्तिविशेष एव भक्तिस्तद्वैशेष्यं च लौकिकानुरागादौ सुग्रहम् ।</blockquote><blockquote>''atra sā pareti lakṣyanirdeśaḥ । śeṣaṁ lakṣaṇam । ... ārādhyaviṣayakarāgatvameva sā (bhaktiḥ) । iha tu parameśvaraviṣayakāntaḥkaraṇavr̥ttiviśeṣa eva bhaktistadvaiśeṣyaṁ ca laukikānurāgādau sugraham ।''</blockquote>Meaning: Here, by the words, 'It is the highest', the subject is indicated. The rest gives the characteristics... Devotion is nothing but the love to be cultivated towards the being who is to be propitiated. Here, devotion denotes the special attitude or function of the antahkarana (internal mind) towards the Supreme Ishvara. Its special characteristic can be easily grasped by comparison with worldly affections, etc.

And in this context, the commentator quotes a verse from the Vishnu Purana. It says,<blockquote>या प्रीतिरविवेकानां विषयेष्वानपायिनी । त्वामनुस्मरतः सा मे हृदयान्माऽपसर्पतु ॥ वि.पु. १.२०.१७</blockquote><blockquote>''yā prītiravivekānāṁ viṣayeṣvānapāyinī । tvāmanusmarataḥ sā me hr̥dayānmā'pasarpatu ॥ vi.pu. 1.20.17''</blockquote>Meaning: The firm affection that the deluded feel towards the objects of the senses, such a firm affection (may I have towards you) may it never depart from my heart while I am constantly meditating upon you.<ref name=":0" /><ref>Manmathanath Paul (1911), [https://ia802606.us.archive.org/24/items/Sacred_Books_of_the_Hindus/SBH%2007%20-%20Bhakti%20Ratnavali%20of%20Vishnu%20Puri,%20Narada%20&%20Sandilya%20Bhakti%20Sutras%20English%20Translation%201912.pdf The One Hundred Aphorisms of Sandilya with the Commentary of Svapnesvara], Allahabad: The Panini Office, BHuvaneswati Asrama.</ref>
