6.113
निजं तस्य न हीयेत तद्वत् परमकारणे । यदि तत्तर्हि मोक्षेऽपि विशेषः किं निवार्यते ॥११३॥
nijaṃ tasya na hīyeta tadvat paramakāraṇe | yadi tattarhi mokṣe'pi viśeṣaḥ kiṃ nivāryate
— his own (royal nature) ; — of him (the king) ; — is not diminished ; — just so ; — in the supreme cause (Śiva) ; — if that (be granted) ; — then ; — even in liberation ; — a distinction (of higher and lower) ; — why is it precluded?

His own (royal nature) is not diminished (by ruling); just so in the supreme cause (Śiva). If that be granted — then why, even in liberation, should a distinction (between Śiva and the liberated) be precluded (— for our one-Śiva view it dissolves)?
