Shiva Purana

siva.sh/siva-purana/vishweshwara-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.

english translation

bahunAtra kimuktena zive bhaktyA vimucyate। prasAdAddevatAbhaktiH prasAdo bhaktisaMbhavaH । yathehAMkurato bIjaM bIjato vA yathAMkuraH 14।
