Attaining spiritual mind and intelligence, he absorbed those elements in the Supreme Lord, omniscient Vāsudeva, the soul of the jīva, by prema-bhakti, and achieved liberation from all bondage.
How did this remarkable state suddenly appear in him? After destroying material mind, intelligence and consciousness, with destruction of the subtle body, he regained them in spiritual form (labdhātmā). With those he absorbed himself in Vāsudeva by the supreme (param) bhāva produced through worship (bhakti)--prema. Pratyag-ātmā means the soul or the jīva. The mind and intelligence were previously causes of bondage. Now they were causes of liberation (mukta-bandhanaḥ). It is said anāvṛttiḥ śabdāt: according to thescriptures, ones does not return to bondage. (Brahma-sūtra 4.423)
