आकर्ण्य तच्छिवः स्वामी स्वेच्छयोपात्तविग्रहः ॥ अवोचत्परमप्रीतस्सतीं योगविरक्तधीः ॥ ११ ॥
On hearing that, lord Śiva whose mind is engrossed in the practice of Yoga and who assumes physical bodies out of his own accord, spoke to Satī.

॥ शिव उवाच ॥ शृणु देवि प्रवक्ष्यामि दाक्षायणि महेश्वरि ॥ परं तत्त्वं तदेवानुशयी मुक्तो भवेद्यतः ॥ १२ ।
Śiva said: O Goddess Satī, listen, I shall explain the great principle whereby the remorseful creature becomes a liberated soul.

परतत्त्वं विजानीहि विज्ञानं परमेश्वरी ॥ द्वितीयं स्मरणं यत्र नाहं ब्रह्मेति शुद्धधीः ॥१३॥
O great Goddess, know that the perfect knowledge is the great principle—the consciousness that “I am Brahman” in the perfect intellect where nothing else is remembered.

तद्दुर्लभं त्रिलोकेस्मिंस्तज्ज्ञाता विरलः प्रिये ॥ यादृशो यस्सदासोहं ब्रह्मसाक्षात्परात्परः ॥ १४ ॥
This consciousness is very rare in the three worlds. O beloved, I am Brahman, the greatest of the great and very few are those who know my real nature.
english translation
तन्माता मम भक्तिश्च भुक्तिमुक्तिफलप्रदा ॥ सुलभा मत्प्रसादाद्धि नवधा सा प्रकीर्तिता ॥ १५ ॥
Devotion to me is considered as the bestower of worldly pleasures and salvation. It is achievable only by my grace. It is nine-fold.
