Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Lord Krishna might have explained the other paths to
test Arjuna's heart. But why did the Lord of the Vedas
do the same in the Vedas - that is, why are the other
paths shown as paths to mOksha in the Vedas?

An example is used here: There is a cow that does not
stay under the control of it owner and always grazes
at every place that it is not supposed to. So, the
owner ties a big stick to its neck which hangs low.
So, every time the cow tries to run away, the stick
would hit its legs and would slow it down. This
would prevent the cow from taking off to places where
it is not supposed to go.

Similarly, the chetana too enjoys many things coming
out of his ahankAra and mamakAra. In order to remove
this enjoyment and make the chetana realize his true
nature (of being completely dependent on Him), the 
Veda purusha prescribed the other paths.
