In General

Hamsagita is a Vedanta text which form a small part of Bhagavata Purana. Mahavishnu in the form of a swan teaches atmavidya to the four kumara sages lead by Sanaka. Hamsa gita states Atman is one and is the only reality. The threefold discipline sravana(hearing about Atman), manana(reflecting on it) and nididyasana (meditating on it) is the key to realize Atman as the ultimate reality.

Another Hamsagita is from Santhiparva of Mahabharata. It teaches about developing virtues like truthfulness, self control, forbearance and forgiveness in order to realize the ultimate Truth.
