From Prof V Krishnamoorthy's Translation of Selected verses from nArAyaNIyam -JnAna, yoga and vairAgya are all masculine in conception (according to the grammar of the language) and so they cannot ultimately succeed as bhakti can,
over the enchantments of mAyA which is feminine. mAyA, says the poet of the Rama-carita-manas, is only a nartakI (dancer)whereas bhakti is the beloved of his hero Sri Ram. The ‘feminine’ bhakti can conquer mAyA whereas the ‘masculine’ jnAna, yoga,and vairagya, etc. however powerful they may be, tend to succumb to her charms!
