देव्युवाच -
अहं वै मत्परान् भक्तानैश्वरं योगमास्थितान् ।
संसारसागरादस्मादुद्धराम्यचिरेण तु ॥ १,११.२६३ ॥
ध्यानेन कर्मयोगेन भक्त्या ज्ञानेन चैव हि ।
प्राप्याहं ते गिरिश्रेष्ठ नान्यथा कर्मकोटिभिः ॥ १,११.२६४ ॥

I am the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whoever is devoted to Me and who has attained the Supreme Yoga, very soon I shall rescue you from this ocean of material existence. 1,11.263 ॥

By meditation, karma, yoga, devotion and knowledge.
O best of mountains, I can be attained nothing else can be done by millions of actions. 1,11.264 ॥

Dear Subbuji,

Lord Krishna also said in the Purana, that in the panchayatana worship, the Devi is worshipped for Mukti or Liberation. Lord Krishna, according to the Ttantra shastra,  is the male form of Mother Kali, one of the forms of Devi herself. Mother Lalita is also another form of the Devi, who gives Mukti. That is why Gaudapadacharya asked Adi Shankara to write his 16th or the last bhashya, i.e.,  the Lalita Trishati Bhashya and he (Adi Shankara)  himself spent his last days  the feet of Mother Lalita in Kanchipuram.

My 2 cents
Sunil K B.
