There is no other path for the cause of liberation, either here or in the next world, for the attainment of happiness,
Than the path declared in the Tantras, which leads to both liberation and happiness. (20)
The Tantras have been declared in many ways and are accompanied by various narratives,
Including many procedures for both the siddhas those who have attained perfection and the sadhakas spiritual practitioners. (21)
Because of the diversity of spiritual capacity and the abundance of those who are pashu the lowest grade of spiritual seeker/the animal-like soul, O Beloved,
The dharma righteous duty declared in the kulachara lineage conduct has sometimes been spoken of with a hidden meaning. (22)
Some have been described that incite the activity of the living soul. Various gods have been proclaimed, as have various goddesses, O Beloved! (23)

Shaktas worshippers of the Goddess, Shaivas worshippers of Shiva, Vaishnavas worshippers of Vishnu, and followers of the Sun and Ganesha. (24)
There are various mantras and yantras mystical diagrams, and numerous ways to attain success,
Which require great effort and yield the fruits as described. (25)

That which is spoken—uttered from My mouth—is to My devotee. "Eehate" means desires. "Arka" refers to the plant born of the Arka tree. (19) "Amutra" means in the next world. (20, 21) Regarding "Adhikari" etc.: O Beloved, due to the difference in spiritual capacity and the abundance of those who are "pashu," the dharma spoken of in the "kulachara" is sometimes said to have a hidden meaning. (22) Regarding "Jiva" etc.: The phrase "due to the difference in spiritual capacity" should be connected here. Some Tantras are mentioned. The word "api" (also) should be connected to "those that incite the activity of the living soul." (23, 24) Regarding "Nana" etc.: "Siddhopayani" means those methods in which the "siddhas" or perfected ones are present. (25)
