Stories of the Goddess, discernment, and self-inquiry
In the Tripura Rahasya, Dattatreya answers Parashurama through story and reason. Wise company, dispassion, trust, worship, and self-inquiry become successive movements in one journey.
Source clarity: The Hemachuda and Hemalekha episode occupies chapters 3 through 10 of the Tripura Rahasya. It is not an episode of the Yoga Vasistha.
