Devahoothi was very much delighted to hear these words from Lord Kapila. She enquired, “What is the true nature of Bhakthi? As a woman how can I attain that? What is Bhakthi Yoga and what is Sankhya Yoga, which is very difficult to comprehend? Please bless me with that profound knowledge”.

The Lord was very pleased to that His mother wanted to know Bhakthi Yoga, Sankhya Shastra and its methodology. He explained the way and order to analyze the Thathwa, the true nature of Bhakthi and the Yoga that promoted it. This is called “Sankhya Shastra” by our masters.

Thus Lord Kapila initiates Mother Devahoothi with “Sankhya Shastram, Bhakthi Swaroopam and Yoga Kramam”.

Note – We must note here that even the Lord had honoured His mother, so ordinary people like us should definitely honour our mother.

The Lord answers to His mother’s question on the true nature of Bhakthi, “The senses (Indriya) that know the sensory experiences like sound, touch etc. are called the Devas. When all these senses engage themselves naturally in the Lord’s stories only, it is true Bhakthi. When there is no desire for any sort of pleasure and you remain pure at heart, it is pure devotion.
