This Gita is described in Varaha Purana (adhyayas 51-67). In this Gita, Rshi Agastya describes the concept of Moksha and the ways in which Jivatma can attain Paramatma through devotion, renunciation and by the grace of guru. (text<ref>https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_giitaa/agastyagItA.html</ref>)
This Gita is described in Varaha Purana (adhyayas 51-67). In this Gita, Rshi Agastya describes the concept of Moksha and the ways in which Jivatma can attain Paramatma through devotion, renunciation and by the grace of guru. (text<ref>https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_giitaa/agastyagItA.html</ref>)
Varaha Purana is in the form of a conversation between Varaha, the Boar-incarnation of Lord Visnu, and Dharani, the Earth held up by him in his tusk, as given by Suta, the mythological narrator.
The whole discourse is in reply to Earth's questions to the Lord seeking enlightenment as to the creation, sustenance and destruction of the world and what would constitute righteous conduct and virtuous actions for happiness in life and ultimate liberation from worldly existence.
Although the chief emphasis of this Purana is on devotion, here we find the stress on jnana as the ultimate means for mukti.
Chs. 51-67. An account is given of various Vratas for attaining various things like health, wealth, progeny, peace, regaining lost possessions etc, and the Pancaratra system of the Vaisnavas is claimed as equal to the Vaidika. The first two chapters in the section, given as Agastyagita is an allegory on liberation and evolution on the basis of Saiikhya philosophy and the last chapter is another allegory on day and night, months, seasons and year.
Earth: what Agastya did after returning to the residence of Bhadrasva.
