Salvation is achieved by the acquisition of Perfect knowledge by every one with the blessings of the preceptor. Salvation is realisation of one’s own real form and the perfect bliss.
O brahmins, men realise all these things only if they cultivate the association of good people. A householder shall make charitable gifts of everything like money, grain etc.
Water shall always be given to the thirsty. Food shall be given to the hungry and the sick. Gift of food is of four types—field, unhusked grain (or seed), uncooked food and cooked food.
A giver of food receives half the merit of the receiver which he accumulates till the time that food is digested or as long as the glory of lord Śiva reaches his ears.
