These are some of the many titles given to the Supreme Truth
(Paravidya), but there is only one Supreme Truth, and there is only one

The Svetasvataropanishad 3:8 states: "I know the (one) supreme Purush
... Only in knowing Him does one pass over death. There is no other path
leading to eternal life". Yajurved 31:18 concludes the same in the
Purushasukta: "... No other way is known for eternal life. (Nanyah
pantha vidyate-ayanaya"). What are taught as four paths to salvation are

to the supreme sacrifice;
(2) knowing ((Gyanmaarg) the Purush-Paravidya (the supreme
knowledge who liberates);
(3) meditating upon Him ((Yogamaarg);); and
