janamejaya uvāca |
sāṃkhyaṃ yogaṃ pañcarātraṃ vedāraṇyakameva ca |
jñānānyetāni brahmarṣe lokeṣu pracaranti ha || 1 ||

Janamejaya said, "The Sankhya system, the Pancharatra scriptures, and the Aranyaka-Vedas,--these different systems of knowledge or religion,--O regenerate Rishi, are current in the world. Do all these systems preach the same course of duties, or are the courses of duties preached by them, O ascetic, different from one another? Questioned by me, do thou discourse to me on Pravritti in due order!"
