Śiva Sūtra 3.6
मोहावरणात्सिद्धिः ||3.6||
From the covering of delusion (moha-āvaraṇāt | abl sg) [arises limited] Siddhi (siddhiḥ | nom sg).
Even extraordinary powers remain limited as long as delusion covers them.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: The warning is that extraordinary powers are not automatically liberation.
The Vārttika explains: Limited Siddhi is only experience of particular Tattvas.
Śiva Sūtra 3.7
मोहजयादनन्ताभोगात्सहजविद्याजयः ||3.7||
From victory over delusion (moha-jayāt | abl sg) [and] from the unlimited expanse of experience (ananta-ābhogāt | abl sg) [comes] mastery of natural knowledge (sahaja-vidyā-jayaḥ | nom sg).
When you overcome delusion and expand experience into the limitless, natural knowledge opens.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: When delusion is overcome and awareness expands widely, a natural knowledge arises that is not laboriously assembled.
The Vārttika explains: Moha is failure to recognise one's own nature.
Śiva Sūtra 3.8
जाग्रद्द्वितीयकरः ||3.8||
The awakened one (jāgrat | nom sg m) [becomes] the producer of a second (dvitīya-karaḥ | nom sg m).
The awakened person consciously participates in shaping the appearing world.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: The awakened person sees the world as a second ray of his own awareness.
The Vārttika explains: The yogin rests in natural Vidyā and remains awake.
