१ सम्बन्धमनुवर्तते इति भाष्यात्क्वचिद्घञान्तस्यापि क्लीबतात एव शेषं रामवदित्यादि संगच्छते २ त्रिशूलेनेति भावः ५७५अ गुह्याद्गुह्यतरं कृष्ण सर्वत्र परमेश्वरे शिवे भक्तिर्न संदेहस्तया भक्तो विमुच्यते
1 sambandhamanuvartate iti bhāṣyātkvacidghañāntasyāpi klībatāta eva śeṣaṃ rāmavadityādi saṃgacchate 2 triśūleneti bhāvaḥ 575a guhyādguhyataraṃ kṛṣṇa sarvatra parameśvare śive bhaktirna saṃdehastayā bhakto vimucyate
[Notes: 1. From the commentary's statement 'the connection continues', in some places even a word ending in ghañ has neuter gender; hence 'the rest is like rāma', and so forth, fits. 2. The sense is 'by the trident'.] (Verse:) More secret than the secret, Kṛṣṇa, is devotion to Śiva, the supreme Lord, everywhere; there is no doubt: by it the devotee is set free.

Muttering of Śiva's mantra, meditation, the fire-oblation, sacrifice, austerity, sacred learning, giving, and study — all these have (right) feeling as their purpose; there is no doubt here.

सात्त्विकं मुक्तिदं कर्म सत्त्वे वै योगिनः स्थिताः राजसं सिद्धिदं कुर्युः कर्मिणो रजसावृताः
sāttvikaṃ muktidaṃ karma sattve vai yoginaḥ sthitāḥ rājasaṃ siddhidaṃ kuryuḥ karmiṇo rajasāvṛtāḥ
Sāttvika action gives liberation; the yogins indeed stand in sattva. Those given to ritual works, enveloped by rajas, would perform the rājasa (action) that gives (magical) powers.

यतः पापार्णवात्त्रातुं भक्तिर्नौरिव निर्मिता तस्माद्भक्त्युपपन्नस्य रजसा तमसा च किम्
yataḥ pāpārṇavāttrātuṃ bhaktirnauriva nirmitā tasmādbhaktyupapannasya rajasā tamasā ca kim
Since devotion has been fashioned like a boat to rescue (one) from the ocean of sin, therefore for one possessed of devotion, what (harm) is there from rajas or from tamas?
