The Karma etc. come under control gradually due to Śiva’s grace. Beginning with Karma and ending with Prakṛti when everything comes under control, the Jīva is called liberated and he shines as a self-realised person.
Then he attains similarity with Śiva by means of weapons and activities. This is called Sārūpya. When the devotee acquires the great favour, the cosmic intellect too comes under control.
