Accordingly, 鈥淸...] Rites mentioned in the Vedas should be performed with the fruits thereof dedicated to Him. Thence, through S膩lokya he attains the feet of the great Lord. [...] Regarding visible things people see with their eyes and begin their activity. Concerning the invisible everywhere, they know through the ears and activise themselves.

There is no difference between devotion and perfect knowledge. A person who is engrossed in devotion enjoys perpetual happiness. Perfect knowledge never descends in a vicious person averse to devotion. [...] According to scholars O Goddess, the nine ancillary adjuncts are:鈥擺viz., 办墨谤迟补苍补, 鈥榚ulogising鈥�...].

Then Him膩cala mentally urged with pleasure by lord 艢iva, the cause of great enjoyment, smilingly spoke to 艢iva. 鈥極 艢iva, please do not delay.
