Durga Saptashati — Chapter 1, Verse 57

Madhu-Kaitabha Vadha

सैषा प्रसन्ना वरदा नृणां भवति मुक्तये । सा विद्या परमा मुक्तेर्हेतुभूता सनातनी ॥ ५७ ॥

saiṣhā prasannā varadā nṛiṇāṁ bhavati muktaye sā vidyā paramā mukterhetubhūtā sanātanī

Translation

When she is pleased, she grants people the boon of liberation. She is the supreme knowledge, the eternal cause of freedom,

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

वही प्रसन्न होने पर मनुष्यों को मुक्ति का वरदान देती हैं। वही परम विद्या और मुक्ति की सनातन हेतु हैं,

Commentary

This is the turning point of the teaching. The Devi is not only the one who binds; pleased by devotion, she is also vidya, the knowledge that frees. The same Mother holds both keys.
