Shloka 56

योगान्तरायाः, औपसर्गिकसिद्धयः, परवैराग्येन शैवप्रसादः

Devanagari script

प्रसन्ने विमला मुक्तिर् वैराग्येण परेण वै अथवानुग्रहार्थं च लीलार्थं वा तदा मुनिः

Transliteration

prasanne vimalā muktir vairāgyeṇa pareṇa vai athavānugrahārthaṃ ca līlārthaṃ vā tadā muniḥ

Translation

Quand le Seigneur Pati (Śiva) est satisfait, la délivrance devient immaculée et pure—vraiment par le détachement suprême (para‑vairāgya). Ou bien, ô sage, cela advient alors pour l’anugraha, la grâce divine, et aussi comme līlā, le libre jeu du Seigneur.
