Verse 3.4.56

त्रिजगत्त्वमहं चेति दृश्येऽसत्तामुपागते ।
द्रष्टुः स्यात्केवलीभावस्तादृशो विमलात्मनः ॥ ५६ ॥

trijagattvamahaṃ ceti dṛśye'sattāmupāgate |
draṣṭuḥ syātkevalībhāvastādṛśo vimalātmanaḥ || 56 ||

Thus when the observer comes to know the unreality of the phenomena of the three worlds, as well as of his own entity, it is then that his pure soul attains to the knowledge of kaivalya or solity of divine existence.
