अमुष्यैवाध्वरेशस्य शिवस्यैव प्रसादतः । वेदोक्तविद्यासारं तु ज्ञायते साध्यसाधनं १६ ।
It is by the grace of Śiva alone who will be the presiding deity of this sacrifice that the means of achievement of the Achievable can be realised and that is the essence of the Vidyā (mystic learning) mentioned in the Vedas.
मुनय ऊचुः । अथ किं परमं साध्यं किंवा तत्साधनं परम् । साधकः कीदृशस्तत्र तदिदं ब्रूहि तत्त्वतः १७ ।
The sages said: What is that great Achievable? What is that great means of achievement? Of what sort is the performer of the rite? Please mention these precisely.
Brahmā said: The attainment of Śiva’s region is the Achievable. Means of achievement is the service rendered unto Him. Sādhaka (the performer of the rite) is the person who is free from desire even for permanence which attitude is the result of His grace.
कर्म कृत्वा तु वेदोक्तं तदर्पितमहाफलम् । परमेशपदप्राप्तः सालोक्यादिक्रमात्ततः १९ ।
Rites mentioned in the Vedas should be performed with the fruits thereof dedicated to Him. Thence, through Sālokya he attains the feet of the great Lord.
All attain the great fruit according to the standard in devotion achieved. The ways of achieving these standards are manifold as expounded by Isa Himself.
