Shiva Purana

siva.sh/siva-purana/vidyesvara-samhita/3/14

बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन शिवे भक्त्या विमुच्यते। प्रसादाद्देवताभक्तिः प्रसादो भक्तिसंभवः । यथेहांकुरतो बीजं बीजतो वा यथांकुरः १४।

sanskrit

Of what avail is a verbose statement? One is liberated by devotion unto Śiva. Devotion to the deity is due to His Grace; and His grace is due to devotion just as the seed gives rise to the sprout and the sprout produces the seed.
