As Girijā stood nearby, her palms joined in reverence, she gazed upon her father with a gentle smile. In her heart, she remembered her beloved husband, Paśupati, and then began to speak, her words carrying the weight of supreme wisdom cherished by the knowers of Brahman. She imparted the highest teaching, a knowledge endowed with all powers—limitless, the supreme mover behind all that exists. "Be steadfast and devoted to that alone," she instructed, "seek refuge in that alone. Worship that alone always, through every sacrifice, austerity, and gift you offer." With compassion, she continued, "By my instruction, O sinless one, I free you from the bondage of worldly existence. From this vast ocean of samsāra, I shall swiftly lift you up. You will attain union with me, O best of mountains, not by countless actions, but by this path alone. Therefore, always practice that which is united with knowledge of the Self, for it alone leads to liberation." She explained further, "Dharma, beginning with sacrifice, is declared by the Veda and Smṛti. Thus, one who seeks liberation should turn to my form—the Veda itself—for the sake of righteousness. At the dawn of creation, the Veda unfolded as Ṛg, Yajur, and Sāma. Then, the Brāhmaṇas and others were created, each assigned their proper duties. Beneath them, hells such as Tāmisra were established." She cautioned, "Those who delight elsewhere, apart from this path, are not to be associated with by the twice-born. Their intentions, opposed to the Veda and Smṛti, are truly of darkness. Many such things exist only to delude beings. The scriptures I have created serve to bewilder those destined for another existence." "Therefore," Girijā said, "those devoted to me strive diligently in this matter. In ancient times, Svāyambhuva Manu declared the codes of conduct to the sages, who then composed the treatises on dharma to establish righteousness. By Brahmā’s command, these are upheld in every age, ensuring righteousness endures among people. In every era, the true knower of the dharma-śāstra is the agent who upholds these teachings." She elaborated, "The science of light, the science of logic, and Mīmāṃsā, together with the four Vedas, are the pillars of dharma; it is found nowhere else. By my command, these are established until the very dissolution of creation. At the end of another’s time, those who have perfected themselves enter the supreme state." "Knowledge, when united with righteousness, reveals the supreme Brahman. Always devoted, filled with faith, and established in yogic mastery, such ones worship with humility and wisdom. They are ascetics of firm vows—renunciants, householders, forest-dwellers, and celibates alike. To them, I swiftly dispel all darkness with the lamp of knowledge." "Ever-blissful in the world, they are not born again and again. Therefore, worship me everywhere, together with Menā. Take refuge in my entire form, which is the origin of time and all things. Be steadfast in that, devoted to that, intent on worshipping that alone. It is the supreme—boundless, immortal, and free from all limiting attributes. Those who see knowledge itself enter into me alone." Thus, Girijā spoke, her words a guiding light, offering the path of liberation and the supreme refuge to all who would listen with faith.
