This composition is a reminder that Adi Shankaracharya, who is often regarded as reviver of Hinduism "Jnana Marga" (Jnana Yoga) or the "Path of Knowledge" to attain Mukti, also was a proponent of "Bhakti Marga" (Bhakti Yoga) to attain the same goal, and as C. Rajagopalachari put in his commentary, "When intelligence (jnana) matures and lodges securely in the heart, it becomes wisdom (vignyana). When that wisdom (vignyana) is integrated with life and issues out in action, it becomes devotion (bhakti). Knowledge (jnana) which has become mature is spoken of as devotion (bhakti). If it does not get transformed into devotion (bhakti), such knowledge (jnana) is useless tinsel."
