v7.c94.333

Manu (XII. 83) states 'study of the Veda, *tapas*, true knowledge (about brahma), restraint of the sense organs, *ahiṁsā*, attending on one's guru-these are the highest means of *niḥśreyasa* (i. e. mokṣa). Then verse 85 proceeds 'of all these six means true knowledge of the Self is the highest, it is at the head of all *vidyās* (lores), since immortality (moksa) is obtained by means of it.
