182.18

tasya daivaḥ sadā tuṣṭaḥ sarvān kāmān prayacchati.
dvāraṃ yat sāṅkhyayogānāṃ sa tatra vasati prabhuḥ .. 182.18 ..

The one who leads a calm life after subduing all his passions in this place even for a moment begets the fruits of highest asceticism and the one who remains there like that for a month begets the benefits of having observed the Paśupata ordinance. In other words he attains bliss after being liberated from the cycle of births and deaths. He attains the position of yoga and the final beatitude. The fruits derived here by the glory of Śiva and of this Avimukta kṣettram, are not obtained even by the practice of yoga for ages The one who goes there is purified of the sin of even killing a Brāhmaṇa One who continually resides there, for all his life, unmoved in mind, is not only purified of his sin committed in this life, but also of his Brahmahatyā sin in his previous birth, and attains Śiva and does not get any other births He gets the favour of Śiva and all his desires are fulfilled, and he gets the same end as the knower of Sāṃkhya does He remains there all his lives and never quits it —11 18
