सांख्ययोगाधिगम्यं यत्कारणं जगतां पतिम् ॥ ज्ञात्वा देवं पशुः पाशैस्सर्वैरेव विमुच्यते ॥ ६६ ॥

On realising the lord of the universe, comprehensible through Sāṅkhya and Yoga, the cause of the universe the person gets released from all illusions.

english translation

विश्वकृद्विश्ववित्स्वात्मयोनिज्ञः कालकृद्गुणी ॥ प्रधानः क्षेत्रज्ञपतिर्गुणेशः पाशमोचकः ॥ ६७ ॥

He is the creator and the knower of the universe. He is the knower of his source, and the creator of time. He possesses attributes. He is the lord of Prakṛti and the individual soul; he presides over the Guṇas; he is the releaser of illusion.

ब्रह्माणं विदधे पूर्वं वेदांश्चोपादिशत्स्वयम् ॥ यो देवस्तमहं बुद्ध्वा स्वात्मबुद्धिप्रसादतः ॥ ६८ ॥

In the past he established the Brahman and personally taught the Vedas. By the grace of my own intelligence I understood that I am the god.

मुमुक्षुरस्मात्संसारात्प्रपद्ये शरणं शिवम् ॥ निष्फलं निष्क्रियं शांतं निरवद्यं निरंजनम् ॥ ६९ ॥

Desiring liberation from this material world, I take shelter of Lord Śiva. It is fruitless, inactive, peaceful, flawless and devoid of delight.

english translation

अमृतस्य परं सेतुं दग्धेंधनमिवानिलम् ॥ यदा चर्मवदाकाशं वेष्टयिष्यंति मानवाः ॥ ७० ॥

The bridge beyond nectar is like the wind burning fuel. When men will wrap the sky like leather.
