The 7th sutra in the 1st Pada of the 1st Adhikarana of the Brahmansutra says,<blockquote>तन्निष्ठस्य मोक्षोपदेशात् । १.१.७ । ''tanniṣṭhasya mokṣopadeśāt । 1.1.7 ।''</blockquote>Meaning: Moksha is declared to the one who is abiding in that (sat).

While commenting on the Shandilya Bhakti Sutras, the commentator Svapneshvara quotes this sutra and reiterates that by 'nishtha' is meant 'devotion' in this sutra. Thus, the sutra is to be understood as 'Moksha accrues to him who is devoted to Him'. Therefore, Moksha is declared as the fruit of devotion.
