jñānātparataraṃ nāsti sarvapāpavināśanam abhyasecca sadā jñānaṃ sarvasaṃgavivarjitaḥ

Nada é mais elevado do que o Conhecimento libertador; ele destrói todos os pecados. Portanto, livre de todo apego, deve-se cultivar sempre esse Conhecimento—para que o paśu (alma ligada) seja solto do pāśa (laço) e se volte para Pati (Śiva).
