Sūta said: There is no doubt that he is stationed after adopting the two forms. When there is a contact with Vijnana (perfect knowledge) at the behest of Parameṣṭhin, liberation occurs within a moment and not otherwise, even with crores of holy rites. Here the order intended for the living beings is not applicable. By the grace of Parameṣṭhin liberation takes place in a trice. This is undoubtedly the vow of the lord. The creature (i.e. individual soul) is liberated, thanks to the grace of Parameṣṭhin even when he is in the womb or when he is born, or when he is a boy, a young man or an old man. By the grace of the lord of Devas every living being is liberated whether it is oviparous or a plant or one born of sweat. No doubt need be entertained in this regard.
