and the origin of the embodied soul, and that by which detachment arises; / the relinquishment of virtue and vice, devoid of truth and falsehood; // 42
the practice of yoga, supreme detachment, subtle and unblemished knowledge, / freed from all attachment, the cause of attaining Īśvara; // 43
the conjunction of the opposites in perfection, destroying the arising of misfortune; / the knowledge of the perception of the supreme, determining the meaning of the principles; // 44
yoga which removes worldly existence and rebirth, devoid of sense objects and organs; / the entire doctrine of Paśupati, which attains the abode of immortality.
Thus ends the one hundred and seventy-fifth chapter, the second in the description of the Pāśupata yoga, on the rules of meditation, in the Skandapurāṇa.
