Translation
Kaya nito, matapos tanggapin mula sa Guru ang kataas-taasang mantra at ang kaukulang kaalamang nagpapalaya, dapat magsagawa ng japa araw-araw na may malinaw na saṅkalpa, at isakatuparan din ang buong disiplina ng puraścaraṇa. Sa pamamagitan ng mantra-siddhi at wastong pagkaunawa, ang paśu (kaluluwang nakagapos) ay inaakay tungo kay Pati (Panginoong Śiva).
