Shiva tells Parvati that by Ram's grace, sorrow, attachment, doubt, and confusion cannot dwell in her heart even in dream.
He does not accept her self-description as an impure seeker still governed by the former delusion. The question is now an instrument of compassion through which the worlds will receive the answer. Beneath the banyan, reassurance reaches her before instruction does.
Freedom is attributed not to personal achievement, though Parvati crossed immense tapasya, but to kripa. Grace has already cleared the chamber from which inquiry now rises. Her question flowers inside that gifted clarity.
Before the teaching begins, Shiva reveals that Ram's grace has already made the listener pure.

रामकृपा तें पारबति सपनेहुँ तव मन माहिं। सोक मोह संदेह भ्रम मम बिचार कछु नाहिं।।112।।
By Ram's kripa, O Parvati, not even in a dream can sorrow, moha, doubt, or delusion dwell in your heart. In my understanding, there is none of this in you.
