Meaning
The fruit of that night's worship and recitation: he becomes "Kālī-made" (kālīmaya), one with Kālī, "in very truth" (sākṣāt). This is the Tantric principle that one worships a deity by becoming the deity: "only one who has become the god can worship the god". After that identification, nothing in the three worlds is impossible for him.
