Now listen and try to pursue the means of liberation from the state of Paśu. He who performs the divine holy rite “Pāśupata” will be liberated from the state of Paśu. O pure ones, I solemnly promise this to you. O excellent Devas, there is no doubt in this that those others too who perform the Pāśupata rite will be liberated from the state of a Paśu. He who renders service steadily for twelve years or even half that period or even three years can be liberated from that state. Hence, O excellent Devas, perform this great and divine rite”.
