The special injunction "for those united to the wind-god (vayujaya) ... at the time of death" refers particularly to the moment of departure. Even those not specially united to Vayujaya, if perfected by knowledge, bhakti, and dispassion, attain liberation. Likewise, among those lacking perfection in knowledge, strong practitioners accomplished by other means may attain by force of their power. Bhagavata indicates that the gods, by means of devotion awakened through stories and clear understanding, attain detachment and knowledge gradually. Others attain by the power of self-absorption and conquering a strong prakriti. The steadfast enter Him; service alone does not suffice. Those worlds are reached by those who have taken to solitude and exclusivity; their intensified spiritual power enters that realm (Madhva Bhaskara citation). For the perfected liberation comes through dispassion, knowledge, and devotion; for disciplined yogins, through regulated practices including mastery of the senses. The mind, when previously subdued, is certainly restrained (Vyasa-yoga).
