I have seen a Ramanuja school hymn saying: jnanam is the upAya for bhakti.

The crux of the teaching meant for Arjuna throughout the Bh.Gita is that
for him karma is better than jnana:

श्रीभगवानुवाच
सन्न्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ ।
तयोस्तु कर्मसन्न्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते ॥५. २ ॥

श्रीभगवान बोले- कर्मसंन्यास और कर्मयोग –ये दोनों ही परम कल्याण करनेवाले
हैं, परंतु उन दोनोंमें भी कर्मसंन्याससे कर्मयोग श्रेष्ठ है ।
