By pursuing this [path] one becomes liberated in this very life, this as a result of being (fully) penetrated by Śiva-nature (ś-ś)�.

They are the people who have attained perfection following the regimen prescribed in the [system of] Siddhānta for the purpose of supernatural powers as well the ultimate goal [of liberation]. O moon-faced [goddess, they] bear [the characteristics of Śiva]: the third-eye on the forehead, the moon on the head , and the ornaments of serpents�.
