Verse 22
Numbers of women with large eyes, like those of the antelope, 1 impatient for his love, ever follow him. Even the King becomes subject to his control. He becomes like unto Kuvera 2 himself. An enemy fears him as if he were a prison. Living in continuous bliss 3 the devotee is liberated when yet living, and is never again reborn. 4

\"Obeisance
To Kl the spouse of Kla, who destroys all sin and is Kla. 1 She who is Tr the Saviour the Supreme Brahmavidy who is adored by the Lotus-born Deva. 2
She who is rvidy, desirous of the welfare of Sdhakas, on the path of Liberation, to whom Hari and Hara 3 make obeisance.
May that Dev the Mother, who appears in the form of all things, bring forth benefits for all such as sing Her praises.
Colophon
Of this King of Hymns wherein Mahkla has described the true self of Klik, the Karprdya Hymn, untainted by worldly desire, which gives bliss to Devotees, the aforesaid Annotation containing its simple interpretation, as well as the Svarpavykhy (Commentary) which gives pure joy was prepared by me Vimalnanda Svm for the enlightenment of Sdhakas in the Saka year 1837.

94:2 Lord of wealth.
94:3 p. 95 "Kelikalay", by the various entertaining acts ("parihsdin") of which there are sixty-four. The meaning here is that there is continuous bliss.
94:4 \"Kelihalay cira jivanmuktah sa bhavati ca bhakhtah pratijanuh", The translation in the text reads "pratijanuh" to mean as K. B. says, "Janmanivritti" or cessation of birth. But "Pratijanuh" may also mean 'birth after birth.' According to this translation "jivanmukta" would not refer to the state immediately preceding Kaivalya but, as K.B. says, "Jivadavasthnubhtadevat-sktkra-mukha" in which case the translation will be, He living in continuous bliss obtains direct Experience of the Devat and is reborn life after life as Her devotee. According to the translation adopted complete liberation follows and in the other case some lower though happy state.
95:1 The first Kla is Mahkla and the second is the produced Kla.
95:2 Brahm.
95:3 Viu and Rudra.
