[The initiation] which reveals everything through the attainment of Śiva through the performance of post-initiatory rites once the three bonds (i.e. the three impurities) have ceased due to the purification of the consciousness on one [of the six] paths, [that] initiation is known to be the ś󲹰īṣ�, which bestows the attainment of liberation because it is contrary to the mundane practice.
