Sarvadarshanasangraha 11.5-8

11.5

sākṣātkāriṇi nityayogini paradvārānapekṣasthitau

“In whom, perceptive, eternally connected, whose existence depends on no other medium,

"He in whose intuitive unerring perception, inseparably united to Him and dependent on no foreign inlets, the succession of all the various existing objects is contained,—all the chaff of our suspicion being swept away by the removal of all possible faults as caused by the slightest want of observation in Him,—He, Śiva, is my authority; what have I to do with others, darkened as their authority must ever be with rising doubts?"

11.6

bhūtārthānubhave niviṣṭanikhilaprastāvivastukramaḥ/

the order of all suitable things has entered into an experience of real facts;

11.7

leśādṛṣṭinimittaduṣṭivigamaprabhraṣṭaśaṅkātuṣaḥ

from whom any chaff of doubt has fallen away through the departure of the taint caused by even a trace of unseen merit or demerit;

11.8

śaṅkonmeṣakalaṅkibhiḥ kim aparais tan me pramāṇaṃ śivaḥ// iti/

what need is there of other [authorities] stained by the arising of doubt? Therefore, Śiva is my means of valid cognition.” So [he says].
