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 Sankhya 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

43. The one boon that I wish to seek is to know how Visnu, about whom you said, could be attained by mortals.

 

The sage said:

 

44. The man who with intense devotion, performs vows in respect of lord Visnu, doubtless attains him.

 

When he was doing penance in this way, once sage Durvasas came there and was surprised to find the hunter not only alive (in spite of his fasting) but effulgent like the blazing fire because of the penance. (hunter-Satyatapas.)

 

 

1. О sage, the foremost among the learned, be pleased to enlighten me on the two kinds of bodies about which you spoke.1

 

 

 

 

15. That which is spoken of as the Supreme Brahman in Vedas and Sastras is the (essence of) Veda itself, the lotus-eyed Narayana-Hari. 16. This Supreme god, Narayana, is attained through the different sacrifices and gifts.

 

Satyatapas said:

 

 

19. To such people, it appears to me, Narayana will always be far away. 20. Tell me in particular as to by what efforts he can be reached by people of all castes.

 

 

 

25. О sage, please tell me what was the sort of fasting undertaken by her and what were the vratas performed.

Aila refers to the son of Ila also known as Pururavas. The Gita sung by Pururavas out of sheer disgust for his past disgraceful life when he got over the sorrow of his separation from Urvashi whom he passionately loved and after having developed dispassion and renunciation is known as Aila Gita.<ref>Swami Sivananda (2000), [https://www.dlshq.org/download2/lordkrishna.pdf Lord Krishna His Lilas and Teachings], Uttar Pradesh: The Divine Life Society.</ref>

2. Aila Gita - Bhagavatam 11.26 (text<ref>https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_giitaa/ailagIta.html</ref>)

Pururavas laments over the power of delusion and states that a man who understands what's best for him should not get sensorily attached to women or to men attached to women. For, only the mind of someone not engaging his senses becomes fixed and pacified. And through the example of Pururavas, the need to abandon bad company and associate oneself with the righteous and the wise in order to cut off the deep attachment of one's mind is emphasized.<ref>Anand Aadhar (2022), Srimad Bhagavatam ([https://www.srimadbhagavatam.org/pdf/canto11-eng.pdf Canto 11])</ref><blockquote>ततो दुःसङ्गमुत्सृज्य सत्सु सज्जेत बुद्धिमान् । सन्त एवास्य छिन्दन्ति मनोव्यासङ्गमुक्तिभिः ॥ २६ ॥<ref name=":32">Bhagavata Purana, Skandha 11, [https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D/%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%83_%E0%A5%A7%E0%A5%A7/%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%A7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%83_%E0%A5%A8%E0%A5%AC Adhyaya 26].</ref> tato duḥsaṅgamutsr̥jya satsu sajjeta buddhimān । santa evāsya chindanti manovyāsaṅgamuktibhiḥ ॥ 26 ॥</blockquote>3.

Ajagara Gita is the collection of advice given by an ascetic, one who has renounced all worldly attachments and conections, to Raja Prahlada. It appears in the Shantiparva of the Mahabharata as part of the Bhishma-Yudhishthira Samvada. The Gita inspires one to maintain equanimity during abundance as well as inadequacy. Thus, it is useful not only to renunciates but also to old people who, after fulfilling their familial responsibilities, wish to lead a life of happiness and peace.<ref name=":2">[https://archive.org/details/GitaSangraha/mode/2up?view=theater Gita Sangraha], Gorakhpur: Gita Press.</ref>
