जगज्जालमेतत्त्वयैवाम्ब सृष्टं त्वमेवाद्य यासीन्द्रियैरर्थजालम् । त्ववेकैव कर्त्री त्वमेकैव भोक्त्री न मे पुण्यपापे न मे बन्धमोक्षौ ॥२७॥

Word breakdown
- जगज्जालमेतत्त्वयैवाम्ब सृष्टं
- This net of the world was created by you alone, O Mother;
- त्वमेवाद्य यासीन्द्रियैरर्थजालम् ।
- you alone now go experiencing the web of sense-objects;
- त्ववेकैव कर्त्री त्वमेकैव भोक्त्री
- you alone are the doer; you alone the enjoyer -
- न मे पुण्यपापे न मे बन्धमोक्षौ
- for me there is no merit, sin, bondage, or liberation.
When the Devi alone creates, acts, and enjoys, the ego's merit, sin, bondage, and moksha dissolve. This is the Advaitic confession that all karma belongs to her, not to the imagined 'I'.
