He saw Kāma stationed [i.e., sthita] on His left side with his bow fully drawn and ready to discharge the arrow. Kāma was haughty and so was very senseless. O Nārada, on seeing Kāma in that attitude, instantaneously anger was aroused in lord Śiva, the supreme soul. [...]”.

Even though staying in sameness (samatā-sthita) he recollects renunciation. Even though he does not recollect any dharma, he transforms into awakening (bodhi). Why is that? Since in [the state of] omniscience, there is no duality of truth and untruth (dharmādharma), the non-duality (advaya) is without any mental effort (manasikāra). In this way, son of good family, the Bodhisattva cultivating the knowledge of the dharma practices the recollection of renunciation authorized by the Lord. [...]”.
