How should those people who have immediately taken refuge in you, the Mother, the true abode,
not instantly cross over calamity, having attained the primordial bliss? 66.
O Devī, those people in the world who have resorted to you, the Mother, Ambikā, how could they not immediately, that very moment, cross over, transcend calamity, misfortune? The sense is that having crossed beyond sorrow, they remain safe. To you of what kind? The true abode, the auspicious place. People of what kind? Those who have attained, established themselves in the primordial bliss, Śiva. 66.

O Mother, when there is union with your body, the Destroyer of the City shines peerless;
they have declared your true body to be an unsurpassed boat in the ocean of transmigratory existence. 67.
O Mother, when there is union with your body, contact with your form, the Destroyer of the City, Śambhu, shines with splendor. And your true, real, eternal body, the physical embodiment in the form of Paśyantī speech, they call a good boat, an unsurpassed crossing-vessel without anything lower, in the ocean of transmigratory existence, the sea of the world. The meaning is: knowers of reality praise it thus. Because of the derivation of the word “ambā” from the root *av*, how can the aspirated labial *bha* be the subsequent sound merely by its labial quality? Even with dental and labial sounds, there is no breach of yamaka. 67.
