— some ; — consisting of the apprehension of difference proper to māyā ; — settled in the Veda, Āgama, and like scriptures ; — with the conceit of liberation ; — in the Sāṅkhya, Vaiṣṇava, and similar scriptures ; — whose essence is the apprehension of Śiva's isolated nature ; — in the Śaiva Siddhānta and the like ; — whose essence is the apprehension of the Supreme Lord as all-comprising ; — in the Mataṅga and similar scriptures ; — a very few, rare ones ; — consisting in the apprehension of the Supreme Lord's own form — pure consciousness whose ultimate is the bliss of an autonomy barren of every limitation ; — in the sequence of the venerable Trika scripture ; — by the gradual abandonment of each prior (stage), or by leaping over them ; — the accomplishment of a single fruit, from one and the same scripture

Some are settled in the Veda, the Āgama, and like scriptures, which consist in the apprehension of the difference proper to māyā. Others, equally in scriptures of that kind but with a conceit of liberation, are settled in the Sāṅkhya, the Vaiṣṇava, and the like. Yet others are settled in the Śaiva Siddhānta and its kindred, whose essence is the apprehension of Śiva's isolated nature; others in the Mataṅga and like scriptures, whose essence is the apprehension of the Supreme Lord as all-comprising. But a very few — rare indeed — are settled in the sequence of the venerable Trika scripture, which consists in the apprehension of the Supreme Lord's own form: pure consciousness, whose ultimate is the bliss of an autonomy barren of every limitation. And some reach it by the gradual abandonment of each earlier stage, others by leaping over them. Thus there is the accomplishment of a single fruit, from one and the same scripture.
