Tantrāloka (Tantraloka): Fejezet 29 - stanzák 151-291 - Nem duális kashmiri Shaivizmus
Rahasyacaryā - Normál fordítás
|
Bevezetés
This is the second and last set of stanzas (from the stanza 151 to the stanza 291) of the twenty-ninth chapter (called Rahasyacaryā).
This work was written by the great Master Abhinavagupta and is a compendium of Tantra in all its facets. Tantrāloka is the most important and voluminous work of the greatest Trika Master. Abhinavagupta was also the teacher of eminent Kṣemarāja and lived about 975-1025 AD in Kashmir.
This treatise whose name is Tantrāloka is a complete encyclopedia of Tantra. Since it is a very advanced text in Trika Shaivism, there is no surprise if a neophyte finds it difficult to understand. To start to understand it, the level of the reader must be the one of a real disciple in Trika Shaivism. If this requirement is not met, then there will be a lot of confusion and constant disappointment. Because in spite of my great efforts to explain the things so easily as possible, to study this treatise requires some spiritual caliber. In this system, sometimes it is not possible even to write about certain topics due to the extreme limitation of the words. Because in the end, all this knowledge has to do with 'states', and it is extremely difficult to write about 'states' in a precise way. Abhinavagupta has done his best to accomplish this formidable task of writing about what is superior and intangible. Anyway, despite his incredible skills to carry out this, he is not revealing everything. It is not because he is all the time hiding things from the reader, but because he is sometimes hiding and on other occasions he just cannot write about some extremely subtle topics because of the limitation of the words.
Goal of life is Liberation. Man has searched for freedom always in human history, but according to Trika Shaivism that is not real Liberation. Real Liberation does not mean that your body should be free from some prison and things like that. Real Liberation amounts to attaining His Svātantrya or Absolute Freedom. When the Great Lord's Svātantrya is achieved, then you see unity in all the things, i.e. you stop seeing duality as before. All is forever identified with Svātantrya, with Him, and that is the end of the story called 'you in bondage'. From this point on nothing will get in your way, because if something apparently gets in your way, that is Svātantrya again. This constant awareness of unity in all is real Freedom. There is no other attainment greater than this!
Keeping the above in mind, now read Tantrāloka and experience Supreme Delight, dear Śiva.

In the lotus covering the maṇḍala or circle that is always facing upward and resting inside the triangle (koṇatraya-antar-āśrita-nitya-unmukha-maṇḍala-chade kamale), (there is) a stalk (nālam) constantly united (with that lotus) (satata-aviyutam) (and) whose actual root is furnished with a sixteen-petalled lotus (ṣoḍaśa-dala-kamala-kalita-sat-mūlam).
In the fire (agnau) (ignited) from the process of rubbing the couple of lotuses strung together by the stalk which is in the middle (madhyastha-nāla-gumphita-saroja-yuga-ghaṭṭana-kramāt), from the union of multitude of parts of the full and beautiful moon and sun which are in the middle (madhyastha-pūrṇa-sundara-śaśadhara-dinakara-kalā-ogha-saṅghaṭṭāt) (and) from the confluence of the portions of semen and blood of the three petals (tri-dala-aruṇa-vīrya-kalā-saṅgāt), (there is,) right in the middle (madhye), a sprout (aṅkuraḥ) (in the form of) an emission (sṛṣṭiḥ).
Thus (iti), through the mudrā of the union of moon, sun and fire (śaśadhara-vāsarapati-citragu-saṅghaṭṭa-mudrayā), the one who generates (kurvan) the creators of the successions of manifestation, etc. --viz. it refers to the group of the twelve Kālī-s-- (sṛṣṭi-ādi-kramamantaḥ) becomes established (sthitim labhate) in the Fourth State (turye) immediately (jhaṭiti).
(The experience) full of awareness (vimarśa-mayaḥ) which (yaḥ) takes place (bhavet) in the absorption into this Khecaramudrā (etad-khecaramudrā-āveśe), during the drinking, enjoying, playing, laughing, etc. (pāna-upabhoga-līlā-hāsa-ādiṣu) of Śakti and the Possessor of Śakti --i.e. of Śakti and Śiva-- (śakti-śaktimatoḥ) reciprocally (anyonyasya), is (syāt) therefore (tad) the power of the mantra (mantra-vīryam) endowed with (these) forms: Unmanifest sound, roaring, bursting, heard sound, sound, end of the sound and uninterrupted unstruck sound (avyakta-dhvani-rāva-sphoṭa-śruti-nāda-nāda-antaiḥ avyucchinna-anāhata-rūpaiḥ).
(The yogī,) being thus established in the group of eight cakra-s or circles (cakra-aṣṭaka-rūḍhaḥ), practices (ācaran) in the supreme abode (pare dhāmni) a natural (sahajam) japa or muttering (japam). He attains (labhate) that (tad) state of the eight Bhairava-s (bhairava-aṣṭaka-padam) which (yad) is divided into eight portions (aṣṭaka-kalā-bhinnam).
The two pairs (yāmale) (or) two circles (cakre) (are as follows:) Prāṇa and apāna --lit. going and coming-- (gamana-āgamane), the two understandings --lit. the two understood's-- (avasitau), the two ears (karṇe), the two eyes (nayane), the two contacts between the two liṅga-s (dvi-liṅga-samparke), the union of those (two liṅga-s) (tad-sammelana-yoge) and (ca) the two whose name is 'dehānta' or the end of the body (deha-anta-ākhye).
The unmanifest (sound) (avyaktam) which (yad) (comes) from the region of the heart in the middle of female breasts (kuca-madhya-hṛdaya-deśāt) (and) ends in the lips (oṣṭha-antam) resides in the throat (kaṇṭha-gam). Having heard (ākarṇya) that (unmanifest sound) (tad) which (yad) dwells in the middle of the two circles --i.e. in the throat-- (cakra-dvaya-madhya-gam), at the moment of the cessation of agitation (kṣobha-vigama-samaye), (all sounds just) disappear (nirvānti). And (ca) there --in the state of extinction of all the sounds-- (tatra), the Supreme (paramaḥ) Bhairava as sound (nāda-bhairavaḥ) who (yaḥ) is eightfold (aṣṭavidhaḥ) (appears) in this way --i.e. in the form of unmanifest sound, etc.-- (evam). He --i.e. this eightfold Bhairava-- who is made out of light, sound and wind/air (jyotis-dhvani-samira-kṛtaḥ) is said to be (ucyate) the supreme (sā... paramā) penetration (vyāptiḥ) of the mantra (māntrī).
(The names of the eight Bhairava-s are as follows:) (1-3) Sakala, Akaleśa and Śūnya (sakala-akaleśa-śūnyam), (4-5) Kalāḍhya and Khamala (kalāḍhya-khamale), as well as (tathā) (6) Kṣapaṇaka (kṣapaṇakam), together with --lit. 'and'-- (ca) (7-8) Antaḥsthaṁ (antaḥstham) (and) Kaṇṭhyoṣṭhya (kaṇṭhyoṣṭhyam). This (iyam) penetration (vyāptiḥ) (is) thus (tathā) (extending) from the half-moon (candrāt) up to the State beyond the mind (unmanā-antā).
The one who remembers (smaran) in this way (evam), in every action (karmaṇi karmaṇi) (and) in any place whatsoever (yatra kvāpi), (such a) penetration (vyāptim), being constantly unstained (satatam alepaḥ) (and) liberated while living (jīvat-muktaḥ), becomes the Supreme Bhairava (para-bhairavī-bhavati).
Someone (kaḥ api) who (yaḥ) is (bhavet) in the womb (garbhe) (and) whose body has been produced in the bud of such an intercourse (tādṛk-melaka-kalikā-kalita-tanuḥ) is said to be (uktaḥ saḥ) one who has arisen from the Yoginī-s (yoginī-bhūḥ). He himself (svayam eva) (is) a receptacle for Knowledge (jñāna-bhājanam) (and) a Rudra (rudraḥ). In the venerable Vīrāvali scripture (śrī-vīrāvali-śāstre), even (api ca) (this) child (bālaḥ) in the womb (garbha-gaḥ) has certainly the nature of Śiva (hi śiva-rūpaḥ)||151-163||

This (sacrifice) (eṣaḥ) belongs to the main (cakra or circle) (tasya mukhyasya ca) from which (yatas) the essence (sāram) is received (ādīyate), that is to say (yad), (this is) the principal (mukhyaḥ ca) sacrifice (yāgaḥ). On that account (tena), this (sacrifice) (ayam) is called (smṛtaḥ) 'the primordial sacrifice' (ādi-yāgaḥ iti).
And (ca) here and there (tatra tatra) in the scripture(s) (śāstre) the All-pervading One --viz. Lord Śiva-- (vibhuḥ) has praised (stutavān) its (asya) essential nature (sva-rūpam): In (passages) to be found in venerable Vīrāvali, Hārdeśa, Khamata and Arṇava (śrī-vīrāvali-hārdeśa-khamata-arṇava-vartiṣu); (and also) in venerable Siddha, Utphulla, Maryādāhīna, Caryākula, etc. (śrī-siddha-utphulla-maryādāhīna-caryākula-ādiṣu).
By the favor (prasādena) of this pair --it refers to 'mantra and mudrā' in this context, and soon 'vidyā and maṇḍala' will be described to a certain extent-- (yugmasya asya), (the Great Yogī is now) devoid of vows and Yoga --i.e. he does not have to observe vows or practice Yoga-- (vrata-yoga-vivarjitaḥ). By constantly performing remembrance (sarvadā smaraṇam kṛtvā), he is solely intent on the primordial sacrifice (ādi-yāga-ekatatparaḥ). He should (now) place (nyasyet) the vidyā (vidyām) on the body of Śakti (śakti-dehe) (and) the letter 'kṣa' (kūṭam) on his own (body) (nije), in due order (anukramāt). After meditating (dhyātvā) on (her) lotus (padmam) as being the moon (candra-nibham) (and) on himself (ātmānam) as being the splendor of the sun (bhāskara-dyutim), he should join the two seats consisting of vidyā and mantra together (vidyā-mantra-ātmakam pīṭha-dvayam... melayet) right here (atra eva)||164-168||

However (punar), as (this procedure) is secret (rahasyatvāt), it is not mentioned (na paṭhyate) by me (mayā) in clear words (spaṣṭaiḥ śabdaiḥ). Nevertheless (tu), the person who is highly interested (in this) (kutūhalī) comes to know (it) (lakṣayet) by reading the aforesaid scriptures (ukta-śāstra-sampāṭhāt eva)||169||

That (tad) which (yad) everybody (sarve) always (sadā) partakes of (bhajante) (in the same way as) the God (devaḥ) —the one who has the primordial support --i.e. the genitals-- (yadvān)— and the Goddess (ca devatā), (who also has the primordial support, is) the supreme (paramam) cakra or circle (cakram), which makes (the deities) approach (sannidhāpakam) the sacrifice of the Goddess, etc. (devī-yāga-ādau).
The supreme (param) liṅga (liṅgam) in the body itself (dehe eva) (is) auspicious (śivam) (and) consists of all the categories (sarva-tattva-ātmakam). (And) furnished with the circle of the Goddess (devatā-cakra-sañjuṣṭam), it (tad) (becomes) the most elevated --viz. the best-- (uttamam) place of worship (pūjā-dhāma).
That very (tad eva) main maṇḍala or circle (maṇḍalam mukhyam) (is) three tridents constituted by lotus, cakra and ether (tri-triśūla-abja-cakra-kham). Right there (tatra eva) (the Great Yogī) should always worship the circle of the Goddess with sacrifices (devatā-cakram... sadā yajet), both externally and internally (bahis antar).
Preceded by the awareness of his own mantra (sva-sva-mantra-parāmarśa-pūrvam), he should sprinkle (spṛśet) with the (different kinds of) sap —which are abounding in Bliss— that arise from it --i.e. from the main circle-- (tad-janmabhiḥ rasaiḥ ānanda-bahulaiḥ), in accordance with the process of manifestation and withdrawal (sṛṣṭi-saṁhāra-vidhinā)||170-173||

In accordance with the rite known as 'subsequent sacrifice' (anuyāga-ukta-vidhinā), (the Guru) should (externally) satisfy (pratarpayet) (the deities) with substances which fascinate the heart (dravyaiā hṛdaya-hāribhiḥ). Likewise (tathā eva), (he should) internally (satisfy the deities) (antar) by means of his awareness of his own Self (sva-svaka-āmarśa-yogāt)||174-175||

Or (athavā) the Guru (guruḥ) should see (paśyet) the entire (samastam) group of deities (devatā-gaṇam) which dwells in the modes of the vital energy (prāṇa-vṛtti-stham). He should worship (abhyarcayet) right there (tatra eva) by means of the abovementioned device (pūrva-ukta-yuktyā eva)||178||

He should thus satisfy (evam... tarpayet) the group of deities (devatā-gaṇam) through the method of the vital energy (prāṇa-krameṇa eva). In a short time (acirāt) he indeed obtains (atha āśnute) the supernatural powers of knowledge (jñāna-siddhīḥ) by means of their favor (tad-prasādena)||180||

Bhairavī (bhairavī) spoke (provāca) in that manner (ittham) in venerable Vīrāvali scripture (śrīmat-vīrāvalī-śāstre).
Firstly (ādau), after performing (vidhāya) the sacrifice (yāgam) in that way (ittham), (the Guru) should initiate (dīkṣayet) his own disciple (sva-śiṣyam tam) —who is one in a hundred thousand (lakṣa-ekīyam) that possesses such a suitableness (tādṛśa-aucitya-bhāginam)— into such a method (tādṛśi krame).
Having sprinkled (prokṣya) him (tam) with the Power of Rudra --i.e. with the Śakti of Śiva-- (rudra-śaktyā tu), (the Guru) should bring (him) (niveśayet) near the God --viz. near Śiva-- (deva-abhyāśe). Having looked (samālokya) at his arms (bhujau tasya), (the Guru) should burst (them) into flames (pradīpayet) with the Power of Rudra (rudra-śaktyā).
(Afterward,) with that very (Power of Rudra) (tayā eva), (the Guru) should place (arpayet) a flower (puṣpam) in his hands --i.e. in the hands of his disciple--, which are smeared with a fragrant mixture (made out of sandal, camphor, etc.) (asya... karayoḥ gandha-digdhayoḥ).
(Now,) having established (sthāpayitvā) those two (arms) (tau) of his --viz. of the disciple-- (tasya) in a supportless condition (nirālambau tu), (the Guru) should ponder over (vicintayet) (such arms) as being pulled (ākṛṣyamāṇau) by the blazing Power of Rudra (rudra-śaktyā... dīptayā) (appearing) in the form of a goad (aṅkuśa-rūpayā).
Consequently (tatas), having he himself --i.e. the disciple-- taken/accepted (saḥ svayam ādāya) the cloth (vastram), he puts a blindfold on his eyes --lit. he becomes blind-folded-- (baddha-dṛśiḥ bhavet). And (ca) he himself (svayam) lets the flower fall (pātayet puṣpam). From that fall (tad-pātāt), (the Guru) perceives (lakṣayet) the Kula (of his disciple) (kulam).
Afterward (tatas), having uncovered (udghāṭya) his (asya) face (mukham), (the Power of Rudra) makes him --i.e. the disciple-- fall prostrate before (praṇipātayet) the feet (of the Guru) (pādayoḥ). (Then the Guru) worships (samarcayet) the circle of the Goddess (devī-cakraṁ) in his hands and also on his head --viz. in the hands and head of the disciple-- (hastayoḥ mūrdhni ca api asya). (Why is this so?) Because (the circle) pulls and is pulled, urges and is urged (ākarṣya-ākarṣakatvena prerya-preraka-bhāvataḥ).
It has been said (uktam) in venerable Ratnamālā (śrī-ratnamālāyām): ... the navel --i.e. the letter 'kṣa' residing in the navel-- (nābhim) enclosed (sampuṭam) by the shaft (of the trident) --i.e. the letter 'ra'-- (daṇḍena) (and) adorned (alaṅkṛtam) by the left ornament and the left shank --i.e. the letters 'ū' and 'au'-- (vāma-bhūṣaṇa-jaṅghābhyāṁ), and also (api) by the buttock(s) --i.e. the letter 'ma'-- (nitambena) --the final result is the 'rkṣrūauṁ' mantra, which is called 'the impelling weapon'--. (The Guru) should place (yojayet) the impelling weapon --viz. 'rkṣrūauṁ'-- (codana-astram tu) in the hand of the disciple which carries a flower (śiṣya-haste puṣpa-bhṛte).
As soon as (yāvat) it --viz. the hand of the disciple or the hand of Śiva-- (saḥ) gets paralyzed (stobham āyātaḥ), it falls (patati) by itself (svayam) on the head --viz. on the head of the disciple-- (mūrdhani). That very (saḥ ayam) hand of Śiva (śiva-hastaḥ) itself (svayam) immediately produces 'pratyaya' or 'firm conviction' (sadyas-pratyaya-kārakaḥ).
By this very means (anena eva prayogeṇa), (the Guru) should make (the disciple) take (grāhayet) the oblation (carukam). And (ca) (with reference to the act of dropping) the toothpick (danta-kāṣṭham) by the disciple (śiṣyeṇa), its fall (tad-pātaḥ) (is interpreted) as before --i.e. as Abhinavagupta explained in the chapter 15-- (prāk-vat) indeed (eva tu)||186-195||

There (tatra), (in) the paralyzation of the hand (kara-stobhaḥ) which (yaḥ kila) begins with (prabhṛti) grabbing the blindfold (netrapaṭa-grahāt) (and) ends in the act of taking the toothpick (danta-kāṣṭha-samādāna-paryantaḥ), (the Guru) perceives (lakṣayet) such a descent of Power (śakti-pātam tathāvidham) according to the divisions of intense, weak, etc. (tīvra-manda-ādi-bhedena). Thus (iti), in venerable Mālinīvijayottaratantra (śrī-pūrve), he --i.e. the disciple-- (eṣaḥ) is said to be (proktaḥ) a 'samayī' (samayī) if his hand trembles --lit. due to the trembling of (his) hand-- (kara-kampataḥ)||196-197||

But (tu) in venerable Bhogahastaka (śrī-bhogahastake), (the disciple is) a samayī (samayī) 'if his hands gets paralyzed' --lit. due to the paralysis of (his) hands-- (kara-stobhāt iti).
Or (vā) the Guru (guruḥ) should give (dadyāt) (the disciple) an oblation (caruḥ eva) dipped in the nectar of the left-handed path (vāma-amṛta-pariplutam).
From taking (that oblation) free from doubt --i.e. without hesitating even a fraction of a second-- (niḥśaṅkam grahaṇāt), (the disciple) becomes (bhavet) free from Māyā (māyā-ujjhitaḥ) (and a member of) the spiritual clan of Śakti (śakti-gotraḥ).
But (tu) (if the disciple) receiving (the oblation dipped in the nectar of the left-handed path) (ādadānaḥ) trembles --lit. he is with trembling or tremor-- (sa-kampaḥ), he is (syāt) a samayī (samayī) (who is fit) for reciting (scriptures), etc. (vācana-ādiṣu).
After some time (kālāntare), having observed the rules (of the scriptures) --lit. by observing, by maintaining the rules-- (pālanāt samaya-sthiteḥ), (such a samayī becomes) a receptacle for Siddhi --i.e. for Liberation and good fortune/prosperity-- (siddhi-pātram) by means of a complete purification of the (six) courses (adhva-saṁśuddhyā). So (iti) it has been said (ucyate) in venerable Ānandeśvara (śrīmat-ānandeśvare)||198-200||

However (tu), when (yadā) (the Guru) is in the process of making --lit. would make-- (kuryāt) a putraka or spiritual son (putrakam), then (tadā) he should perform (samācaret) the initiation (dīkṣām).
It has been said (uktam) in venerable Ratnamālā (śrī-ratnamālāyām): (The Guru) should place (on the body of the disciple) (nyasyet) the One who starts with 'na' and ends in 'pha' --i.e. the Mālinī arrangement of the Sanskrit alphabet-- (na-ādi-pha-antām), which has the splendor of a flame (jvalat-prabhām) (from the foot) up to the end of śikhā (in the crown of the head) (śikhā-antam). (As a result, the disciple) falls (to the ground) (patati). On that account (tena), such a method (īdṛk-kramaḥ) has to do with this --i.e. it is related to initiation of the putraka or spiritual son-- (atra... bhavet).
The Guru (guruḥ) who consists of That --viz. of Śakti-- (tad-mayaḥ) should ponder over (cintayet) the Śakti (śaktim) of the disciple who has been sprinkled upon (prokṣitasya śiśoḥ), on whose line of courses the aforesaid purification has been applied (nyasta-prokta-śodhya-adhva-paddhateḥ) (and) who has (his) body upright (ṛju-deha-juṣaḥ). (The Guru should ponder over that Śakti) as coming (āgatām) from the foot (pādāt) up to the head (mūrdha-antam), as flaming (sandīptām) (and) burning the bonds (of such a disciple) (pāśān dahantīm).
After that --i.e. after being standing up-- (tatas), once (the disciple) is sitting (upaviśya), (the Guru) should gradually ponder over (cintayet kramāt) (the Śakti of the disciple) as burning (his bonds) (dahantīm), completely (alam), beginning (prabhṛti) from the purification of the root (mūla-śodhyāt) (and) ending in the final purification --in the crown of the head-- (anta-śodhya-avasāna-antām).
After burning (dagdhvā) in this way (evam), such as it was expressed before (purā-ukta-vat), all (sarvāṇi) the categories, etc. (tattva-ādīni) to be purified (śodhyāni), (the Guru) should meditate (dhyāye) (on the Śakti of the disciple) as dissolved (līnām) in Śiva (śive), (whether in His aspect) without parts --it refers to the putraka or spiritual son, etc.-- (niṣkale) or (athavā) with parts --it refers to the sādhaka or adept-- (sakale).
(The Śakti) fastened (yojitā) by the Yogī (yoginā) to the path --i.e. to the Central Abode-- (mārge) nourishes (poṣaṇam kurute) that which is of the same kind --viz. Consciousness-- (sajātīyasya) (and) consumes --i.e. burns-- (nirdahati) the other (anyat), i.e. the multitude (of things belonging to) a different kind --viz. mala-s or impurities, etc.-- (bhinna-jāti-kadambakam)||201-206||

Or (athavā), (if) there was no absorption (na... āveśaḥ) in this way (evam) for him, (for the disciple) --lit. of someone-- (kasyacid), therefore (tad) (the Guru) should burn (dahet) him (imam) outside (bahis) and (ca) inside (antar) with the aforesaid Power --i.e. with the Power of Rudra-- (ukta-śaktyā). He --the disciple-- (saḥ) should thus fall (patet ittham) to the ground (bhū-tale). But (tu) (if) even so (evam api), (absorption) is not happening (syāt na) to him --lit. 'to whom', i.e. to the disciple-- (yasya), (then the Guru) should (right) here abandon (atra... tyajet) him (tam) like a rock (upala-vat).
Now (atha), I will speak (vakṣye) about a sure initiation (sapratyayām dīkṣām) taught (upadiṣṭām) by pleased and wise Śambhunātha (tuṣṭena dhīmatā śambhunāthena), (and) which (also) occurs --lit. seen-- (dṛṣṭām) in the doctrine of Sadbhāva --i.e. in venerable Tantrasadbhāva-- (sadbhāva-śāsane):
"Nectar --the letter 'sa'--, fire --the letter 'ra'-- and wind --the letter 'ya'-- --viz. the final result is 'Sry'-- (sudhā-agni-marutaḥ). Weak --the letter 'ḍa'--, subsequent (with reference to 'weak') --the letter 'ḍha'--, Kāla or Death --the letter 'ma'--, fire --the letter 'ra'-- and wind --the letter 'ya'-- --viz. the final result is 'Ḍḍhmry'-- (manda-para-kāla-agni-vāyavaḥ). Fire --the letter 'ra'--, nectarean (soma) --i.e. the letter 'sa'--, breath --the letter 'ha'--, the letter 'kṣa', fire --the letter 'ra'-- and wind --the letter 'ya'-- --viz. the final result is 'Rshkṣry'-- (vahni-saudha-asu-kūṭa-agni-vāyuḥ). All (those three combinations of letters) (sarve) are furnished with the sixth vowel --i.e. the vowel 'ū'-- (sa-ṣaṣṭhakāḥ) (and, according to Jayaratha, the great commentator of Tantrāloka, a final Anusvāra --'ṁ'-- should be added too).
Each of these (etad... pratyekam) three masses (of letters) --viz. Sryūṁ, Ḍḍhmryūṁ and Rshkṣryūṁ-- (piṇḍa-trayam) is said to (ucyate) produce a cessation (of bondage) (stobha-kāri)"||210-213||

And (ca) (the Guru) should mutter (japet) the mantra --one among the three masses of letters, viz. either Sryūṁ or Ḍḍhmryūṁ or Rshkṣryūṁ-- (mantram) by inserting the name (of the disciple being initiated among the mantra-s) --i.e. 'mantra, name of the initiated disciple, mantra again, and so on'-- (nāma-antarita-yogataḥ). (Then,) in half a twinkling of the eyes (nimeṣa-ardhāt tu), there is (bhavet) without doubt (na saṁśayaḥ) a cessation (stobhaḥ) of disciple('s bondage) (śiṣyasya)"||214-216||

(Now) the correct consecration into Yoga (samyak-yoga-abhiṣecanam) of the sādhaka or adept who desires to enjoy (sādhakasya bubhukṣoḥ tu):
In this (rite) (tatra), after having sacrificed to/worshiped (iṣṭvā) the God (devam) in accordance with the wealth (of the disciple) (vibhavaiḥ), (the Guru) should kindle --lit. should arouse-- (bodhayet) an impeccable (avraṇam) set of eight lamps (dīpa-aṣṭakaṁ) made out of gold, etc. (hema-ādi-mayam), after filling (them) with clarified butter (and furnishing them) with red wicks (rakta-varti-sarpiṣā-pūrya).
That (impeccable set of eight lamps) (tad) is to be worshiped (pūjyam) as the group of eight (goddesses of) Kula (kula-aṣṭakena), and (ca) the Lord and the Mistress of Kula (kula-īśvarau) (are) also (to be worshiped) (api) in the conch-shell (śaṅkhe) totally full of the Nectar of Bliss (ānanda-amṛta-sampūrṇe).
By the aforesaid method of the hand of Śiva (śiva-hasta-ukta-vartmanā), (the Guru) should consecrate (abhiṣiñcet) him --i.e. his disciple-- (tam) by means of that --viz. by means of the conch-shell-- (tena). Afterward (paścāt), he --the sādhaka or adept who desires to enjoy-- (saḥ) should do (kuryāt) the mantra practice --lit. the means (known as) mantra-- (mantra-sādhanam).
This (ayam) (is) the consecration (abhiṣekaḥ) of the Ācārya or Teacher (ācāryasya):
He --i.e. the Guru-- (saḥ tu) who is possessed of authority (adhikāra-anvitaḥ) should make (kuryāt) sixty-four (catuṣṣaṣṭim) small lamps (pradīpakān) for him (asya) by using flour, etc. --according to Jayaratha, the great commentator of Tantrāloka, 'etc.' means 'valmīka-mṛd' or earth of an anthill, etc.... and I would add 'water' too-- (piṣṭa-ādibhiḥ).
They --i.e. those sixty-four lamps-- (te) are to be worshiped (pūjyāḥ) as the sixty-four (goddesses of Kula) (aṣṭa-aṣṭakena). The Lord and the Mistress of Kula (kula-īśvarau) (are to be honored) as before --viz. by using the conch-shell again-- (prāk-vat) in the center (madhye). (The Guru) should also consecrate (him) (api abhiṣecayet) as Guru (gurum) by means of the above-mentioned device of the hand of Śiva (śiva-hasta-ukta-yuktyā eva)||225-229||

(According to Mālinīvijayottaratantra 11.46:) "These two --i.e. the sādhaka or adept and the Ācārya or Teacher-- (imau) who have been thus consecrated (abhiṣiktau... evam), are known and celebrated (viditau) by the entire group of Yogī-s (sarva-yogi-gaṇena tu). Your (bhavatas tatra) Guru (guruḥ) is (bhavet) the one who confers Liberation (mokṣa-pradaḥ) --i.e. from the two (adept and Teacher), the Guru is the one who bestows Liberation, viz. the Teacher, because the adept can only bestow supernatural powers, this is what is about to be explained--"||230||

(The Guru performing the consecration) should also communicate (kathayet... api) to these two --adept and Teacher-- (anayoḥ) the whole triple knowledge (jñānam trividham sarvam) in an adequate way (alam), and (ca) he should (also) grant (vitaret) his own authority (svakīya-ājñām) with respect to performing his own rite --i.e. initiation, etc.-- (sva-kriyā-karaṇam)||231-232||

Seeing (paśyan) each (pratyekam) of those (realities) --lit. of that-- (tasya) as identical with all (or as the State of the Self of all) (sārvātmyam), the Guru (guruḥ) should transfer (saṅkramayet) that nature or modality (tām vṛttim) which resides in himself --in the Guru himself-- (ātma-gām) to the eye, etc. (of his disciple) (cakṣus-ādau), i.e. to any indriya (of his disciple) (yatra indriye).
That (saḥ eva) is known as (smṛtaḥ) supreme (paraḥ) consecration (abhiṣekaḥ) (which is performed) with full pots (pūrṇaiḥ kalaśaiḥ). (It is) certainly (api) (performed) without (vinā) external (pots) (bāhyaiḥ). It has been so said (iti uktam) in venerable Vīrāvalibhairava (śrī-vīrāvalibhairave)||233-235||

The initiation by penetration (vedha-dīkṣā ca) (is) described (nirūpitā) here and there (tatra tatra) in many ways (bahudhā). It --i.e. the initiation by penetration-- (sā ca) is to be performed (kāryā) by someone who is a practitioner --i.e. by the Guru-- (abhyāsavatā). By means of this --viz. by means of the condition of the Guru as a practitioner-- (yena), through a penetration into higher and higher (levels) (ūrdhva-ūrdhva-praveśataḥ), the conviction of the disciple, by means of a piercing of the cakra-s or circles (śiṣyasya cakra-sambheda-pratyayaḥ), becomes (jāyate) firm (dhruvaḥ).
Through this --lit. through which-- (yena), (there is) a supernatural power (siddhiḥ) such as minuteness, etc. (aṇima-ādikā). But (ca), this (supernatural power) is laid down (coditā... sā) in venerable Ratnamālā (śrī-mālāyām): (A supernatural power which is) an absorption through a piśāca --a lower devilish being-- (piśāca-āveśaḥ eva) when the state of the high circles is not attained (ūrdhva-cakra-daśā-alābhe).
The sixfold (ṣoḍhā) initiation by penetration (vedha-dīkṣā) —which consists of (these six types:) (1) mantra, (2) sound, (3) bindu, (4) śakti, (5) snake and (6) supreme (mantra-nāda-bindu-śakti-bhujaṅgama-para-ātmikā)— (is) mentioned (uktā) by the Supreme Lord (parama-īśinā) in venerable Gahvara (śrī-gahvare):
(1) (First of all,) the Guru meditates --lit. after meditating-- (dhyātvā) on the multitude of flames (jvālā-kulam), which is mentioned in His own scripture --i.e. in Gahvara-- (sva-śāstra-uktam), as a circle (cakram) composed of eight spokes, etc. (aṣṭa-araka-ādikam). (As the Guru performs) with it --with the circle composed of eight spokes, etc.-- (tena) (multiple) piercings in his heart cakra --i.e. in the heart circle of the disciple-- (asya hṛd-cakra-vedhanān), (this type of initiation by penetration is called) 'penetration by means of the mantra' (mantra-vedhanam).
After placing (nyasya) the letter 'ā' --another translation is 'the form'-- (ā-kāram) in nine ways (navadhā) on (his own) body (dehe), (the Guru) should then, by means of nyāsa --the act of placing the hands on the body--, transfer (saṅkramayet tatas nyāsa-yogena) (the letter 'ā') which shines with great flames (dīpyamānam mahārciṣam) to the disciple (śiṣyāya).
After that (tatas), due to the cessation of the bonds --i.e. because bondage stops-- (pāśa-stobhāt), (there is) his (tasya) union (yojanam) with the Supreme Principle (para-tattve tu) --viz. the disciple attains union with Śiva--. Thus (iti), (this) rite (vidhiḥ) occurring (dṛṣṭaḥ) in Dīkṣottara (dīkṣottare) was said (uditaḥ) to me (me) by Śambhunātha (śambhunā).
(2) It is known as 'nāda' --'sound'-- (nāda-ākhyaḥ) due to the uccāra of 'nāda' or 'sound' --i.e. because the quality of 'nāda' is to emerge and appear as sound-- (nāda-uccāreṇa). By using the succession (of sounds) in 'the emission' --i.e. in the Mālinī arrangement of the Sanskrit alphabet-- (sṛṣṭi-krama-niyogataḥ), (the Guru) should penetrate (vedhayet) the (disciple's) mind (cittam) with nāda or sound (nādena). (This) is said to be (udīritaḥ) 'penetration by means of nāda or sound' (nāda-vedhaḥ).
(3) The mind (of the disciple) (cittam) (is) located in the place of bindu (bindu-sthāna-gatam), i.e. it is situated in the path between the eyebrows (bhrū-madhya-patha-saṁsthitam) or (vā) in the mark of the heart (hṛd-lakṣye). Oh Great Mistress (mahā-īśāni)!, (after contemplating on) the bindu (bindum) which is similar to a multitude of flames (jvālā-kula-prabham), (the Guru) should, by means of that (bindu), awaken (tena sambodhayet) the one which is to be subdued --i.e. the mind of the disciple-- (sādhyam). This (ayam) is known (prakīrtitaḥ) by the name of ('penetration by means of) bindu' (bindu-ākhyaḥ).
(4) Oh Beautiful One (sundari), through the uccāra of the Possessor of Śakti --i.e. Śiva-- (śaktimat-uccārāt) by means of the uccāra of 'gandha' --of what is generally understood as 'the base of the spinal column'-- (gandha-uccāreṇa), having (the Guru) silently emitted --lit. 'pronounced', but really an 'anacka' sound is impossible to be pronounced due to the absence of vowels; it can only be contemplated upon-- (anuccāreṇa ca uccārya) the 'śākta' --viz. the anacka (devoid of vowel) sound 'h'-- (śāktam) —which is seated on a triangle (śṛṅgāṭaka-āsana-stham tu), which is curved (kuṭilam) (and) with the form of an ear-ring (kuṇḍala-ākṛtim)—, he should penetrate (vedhayet) the entire universe (nikhilam jagat).
Thus (evam), since there is a penetration of the entire universe --lit. 'since there is a penetration moving about'-- (bhramara-vedhena), (this) is called (udāhṛtaḥ) 'the penetration of śakti' (śākta-vedhaḥ)||237-247||

She (sā) consists of a group of five (pañcakātmikā): (a) Primeval powers, categories, nanda-s, etc. --moon phases-- (kalāḥ tattvāni nanda-ādyāḥ); (b) spaces (vyomāni); (c) kula-s (kulāni); (d) causes such as Brahmā, etc. (brahma-ādi-kāraṇāni) and (ca... ca) (e) senses --i.e. Jñānendriya-s and Karmendriya-s-- (akṣāṇi eva).
So (evam), She (sā), the Fivefold One (pañca-prakārā), leaves the place of Brahmā --i.e. the genitals-- (brahma-sthāna-vinirgatā) (and) certainly (tu) enters (viśantī) into the place of Brahmā --into the point located a little above the top of the head, at the end of twelve fingers from the space between the eyebrows-- (brahma-sthāne). While She remains dissolved (there) (līnā), She shines (virājate) (like) a lightning (taḍit).
Once She has entered (the place of Brahmā on top of head) (praviṣṭā), She penetrates (vedhayet) the body (kāyam) (and) penetrates (pratibhedayet) into the Self (ātmānam). 'The penetration of the snake' (bhujaṅga-vedhaḥ tu) (is) so enunciated (evam kathitaḥ) in the Bhairavāgama (bhairava-āgame).
So long (tāvat) (the yogī) should contemplate (bhāvayate) (his) mind (cittam), until (yāvat) (such a) mind (cittam) has come to an end (kṣayam gatam). When the mind has come to an end (kṣīṇe citte), oh Mistress of the gods (sura-īśāni), (does appear) what is known as (udāhṛtaḥ) Supreme Bliss (para-ānandaḥ)||249-252||

(6) (There are) neither (na) powers of perception and action (indriyāṇi) nor (na vai) vital energies (prāṇāḥ) nor (na) sphere of influence of the inner (psychic) organ (antaḥkaraṇa-gocaraḥ) nor (na) mind (manas) nor (na api) something to be thought (mantavyam) nor (na) thinker (mantā) nor (na) activity of thinking (manikriyā). The disappearance of all the existents (sarva-bhāva-parikṣīṇaḥ) (is) called (udāhṛtaḥ) 'the supreme penetration' (para-vedhaḥ).
Optionally (vā), other (anye) Guru-s (guravaḥ) who know the secret (rahasya-vidaḥ) perceive (kalayanti) this --the whole thing about penetrations-- (idam) in nine ways (navadhā) through the division(s) of: [1] mantra --'manu' and 'mantra' are synonymous in this context--, [2] śakti, [3] world, [4] form, [5] knowledge, [6] mass, [7] place, [8] subtle channels and [9] supreme (manu-śakti-bhuvana-rūpa-jñā-piṇḍa-sthāna-nāḍi-para-bhedāt).
[1] After meditating (dhyātvā) (on the disciple who is sitting) inside the triangle (tryaśriṇi) —(which is) in the maṇḍala (maṇḍale)— furnished with stream of letters of fire --i.e. 'ra'-- coming from the womb of Māyā (māyā-garbha-agni-varṇa-ogha-yukte), (the Guru) should pierce (vibhedayet) the knots (of this disciple) (granthīn) with that formidable flame (jvālā-karālena tena). (The Guru) should strike (the disciple) (hanyāt) with flowers --'puṣpa' also means 'menstrual flux'-- (puṣpaiḥ) and (ca) should unite (him) (yojayet) with the Supreme (Self) --i.e. with Śiva-- (pare). (This) method (vidhiḥ) is called '(penetration by means of) the mantra' (abhidhaḥ).
[2] After having entered (āviśya) through one of the subtle channels (of the disciple) (nāḍyā... anyatarayā), after having made (his) consciousness into a ball (caitanyam... piṇḍīkṛtya) in the abode of kanda --viz. the bulb where all the subtle channels come from-- (kanda-dhāmani) (and) after having forcefully gone (all over the disciple's body) (paribhramya... haṭhāt) with the flame of the five and eight --i.e. five powers of action plus five powers of perception along with mind, ego and intellect-- (pañca-aṣṭa-śikhayā), (the Guru) should join (niyojayet) (the mind of the disciple,) which has been (now) brought to the tip of the Śakti's trident --according to Jayaratha, 'to the tip of the stages of śakti, vyāpinī and samanā'-- (śakti-śūla-agra-gamitam), onto a circle (cakre) somewhere (kvāpi). Since it is accomplished by means of Śakti (śaktyā iti), this (ayam) (is) 'the penetration of śakti' (śāktaḥ vedhaḥ), which produces immediate conviction (sadyas-pratyaya-kārakaḥ).
[3] After making the body (of the disciple) a crystal (deham svacchīkṛtya) by means of the flame (śikhayā) —which is beautiful like moonlight (jyotsnā-avadātayā), which appears impetuously (nirgatayā... rabhasāt) from the support (ādhārāt), (and) which (moving) successively from the big toe or from the root-seat (aṅguṣṭha-mūla-pīṭha-krameṇa) merges (līnayā) into the ether --on top of the head, at twelve fingers from the space between the eyebrows-- (vyomni) of the disciple (śiṣyasya)—, (the Guru,) remembering (smaran) the multitude of aforesaid worlds --lit. cities-- (purā-ukta-purī-oghān) —from 'kṣa' up to 'a' (kṣa-ādīn a-antān)—, mirrors (pratibimbayate) (such a multitude of worlds and associate letters on the body of his disciple) through a meditation on his own maṇḍala or circle --i.e. on his own body-- (nija-maṇḍala-nirdhyānāt). (This is called) 'penetration by means of the worlds' (bhuvana-vedhaḥ).
[4] With a sense of identification (tādātmyena), (the Guru) should meditate (dhyāyet), inside the elevated abode of bindu which is between the eyebrows (bhrū-madhya-udita-baindava-dhāma-antaḥ), on some pleasant form (kāñcid ākṛtim rucirām). Afterward (paścāt ca), he should cause the disciple to be composed of that --i.e. of that pleasant form-- (śiṣyam... tad-mayīkuryāt). So (iti), (this) is called (uktaḥ) 'penetration by means of a form' (rūpa-vedhaḥ). And (ca) here (iha) that (sā) form (ākṛtiḥ) becomes visible (to the disciple) (upaiti dṛśyatvam). At the end (ante), when the disciple becomes composed of that (pleasant form) (śiṣyaḥ ca... tad-mayībhūtaḥ), he becomes one with it (tad-sāyujyam... āyāti).
[5] Knowledge (vijñānam... tad) (is) eightfold (aṣṭadhā) which (yad) consists of (five) powers of perception --lit. the (five) instruments called buddhi(-indriya-s)-- such as the power of smelling, etc. (plus) the inner (psychic) organ --which is composed of intellect, ego and mind-- (ghrāṇa-ādika-buddhi-sañjña-karaṇa-antaḥ). Through the course of the thread of his own subtle channels (sva-sva-nāḍi-sūtra-krameṇa), (the Guru) should pass (such a knowledge) over (sañcārayet) to (his) disciple (śiṣye). Due to a succession of manifestations of a firm belief (abhimāna-dārḍhya-bandha-krameṇa), (this) penetration (vedhaḥ) is called '(penetration by means of) knowledge' (vijñāna-sañjñakaḥ), which immediately generates (sadyas... dhatte) the rising of the sun of divine Knowledge (divya-jñāna-arka-samudayam) in the ether of the heart (hṛdaya-vyomani).
[6] The supreme mass (or body) (piṇḍaḥ paraḥ) (is) the Kalā-s --five kañcuka-s or sheaths, according to Jayaratha-- (kalā-ātmā), the subtle (mass or body) (sūkṣmaḥ) (is) puryaṣṭaka --i.e. the subtle body formed from 5 subtle elements plus intellect, ego and mind-- (puryaṣṭakaḥ), (and) the gross (mass or body) (sthūlaḥ) (is) the external (one) (bahis). The Self (ātmā saḥ) avoiding (parāṅmukhaḥ) a mirror, etc. (ādarśa-ādau) (is) a shadow --i.e. He is invisible-- (chāyā), but (ca) when (the Self) is in front of (a mirror, etc.) (sammukhaḥ), (He is) perceptible (jñeyaḥ). Thus (iti), (the Guru) impetuously (rabhasāt) extinguishes (śamayet) that variety of masses --i.e. of bodies-- (yaḥ piṇḍa-vibhedaḥ tam) into each following --viz. the gross body is extinguished into the subtle body, and this one is extinguished into the supreme body-- (uttara-uttare). On the disappearance of those various (bodies) (tad-tad-galane), the Supreme State (parama-padam) gradually (appears) (kramaśas) through 'the penetration of the mass' (piṇḍa-vedhena).
[7] After causing any circle whatsoever in the body of the disciple to gradually cease (right) there --i.e. in such a body-- (yad yad dehe cakram tatra śiśoḥ etya viśramam kramaśas), (the Guru) should illuminate (ujjvalayet) that circle (tad-cakram). (This) is called '(the penetration) by means of the place' (sthāna-ākhyaḥ). (Such a) penetration (vedhaḥ) grants that fruit --i.e. Liberation-- (tad-phala-pradaḥ).
[8] The main subtle channels --lit. the subtle channels which are the main ones-- (nāḍyaḥ pradhāna-bhūtāḥ) (are) three (tisras). Nevertheless (tu), the other (subtle channels) (anyāḥ) which reside within them (tad-gatāḥ) (are) innumerable (asaṅkhyeyāḥ). 'The penetration by means of channels' (nāḍī-vedhaḥ) generates unity (ekīkāraḥ) by those (channels) (tābhiḥ) (and) produces that fruit --viz. unity-- (tad-phala-kṛt) here --in the subtle channels themselves-- (atra). Flowing through a desired subtle channel --i.e. while the Guru flows in that way-- (abhilaṣita-nāḍi-vāhaḥ), there is (syāt) therefore (tad) a wonderful and multiple (vicitra-bahu-rūpā) attainment of Consciousness (bodha-prāptiḥ) in 'the penetration by means of the subtle channels' (nāḍī-vedhe) through the main (subtle channels, if you will excuse the repetition,) situated in eyes, etc. (mukhyābhiḥ cakṣus-ādi-niṣṭhābhiḥ). After shaking (āsphoṭya) the subtle channel of another (person) which is enveloped by his own subtle channel (sva-nāḍi-saṁveṣṭitām apara-nāḍīm), the Great Yogī (mahā-yogī), as a powerful animal whose bodily form is like that of a tail (lāṅgūla-ākṛti-bala-vat), causes even a perfected being to fall (siddham api... pātayati) to the ground (bhuvi) by force (haṭhāt).
[9] 'The supreme penetration' (para-vedham) (is so described:) By reflecting (āmṛśan) on non-duality (advaitam) in all the cakras or circles (samasteṣu cakreṣu), the Guru (guruḥ) —the one who bestows an entry into the State of Śiva (śivatā-āpatti-daḥ)—, should make (prakurvīta) (his own disciple) into the Supreme Śiva (param śivam)||253-271||

Accordingly (tathā ca), ('the supreme penetration' is) defined (nirūpitam) in this manner (ittham) in venerable Vīrāvalikula (śrīmat-vīrāvalikule):
After knowing (jñātvā) that the center (madhyam) (is) in every way (sarvathā) undivided (abhedyam), he --i.e. the Guru-- is not contaminated --viz. he remains pure-- (na lipyate). The Guru (saḥ guruḥ), who is accomplished (siddhaḥ) with reference to the series of divisions of that (center) (tad-vibhāga-krame), should liberate (mocayet) the animals living in bondage --i.e. the bound living beings-- (paśūn).
The disciple (śiṣyaḥ) should sit down (viśet) in front (agre) of the Guru (guroḥ). (The Guru) should penetrate (his disciple) (vedhayet) mouth-to-mouth --here 'mouth' stands for Śakti-- (vaktram vaktre tu), form-to-form (rūpam rūpe), by (various) spheres of activity (viṣayaiḥ), until he becomes of the same taste (as that) --i.e. he, according to Jayaratha, attains identification with that... and 'that' may mean 'Śiva Himself', or 'the center', etc.; there are many ways to interpret this expression, because Jayaratha used 'tad', lit. 'that', which is indefinite-- (yāvat samarasībhavet).
(There is) an abiding (sthitiḥ) in the State of Unmanā (aunmanasī) in the case of the two --viz. Guru and disciple-- (dvayoḥ), when the mind (of the disciple) becomes of the same taste (as that) --i.e. when it attains identification with that-- (citte samarasībhūte). And (ca) since both of them got the State of Unmanā (ubhayoḥ... unmanas-gatyā), (the disciple), at that moment (tad-kāle) becomes (bhavet) initiated (dīkṣitaḥ). In the union of moon and sun (śaśi-bhāskara-saṁyoge), while he is still alive (jīvaḥ), he becomes identical with that --i.e. with Śiva, with the center, etc.-- (tad-mayatām vrajet)||272-275||

With respect to this --i.e. to Śiva, the center, etc.-- (atra), gods (devāḥ) (such as) Brahmā, etc. (brahma-ādayaḥ) are desirous of Liberation (mokṣa-kāṅkṣiṇaḥ) leading to Liberation (muktaye).
After restraining (nirudhya) his own circle of beams (raśmi-cakram svam), if (yadi) (the Guru) swallows (grasate) both (ubhau api) —enjoyment and Liberation (bhoga-mokṣau)—, that initiation (tad-dīkṣā) is said to be (parikīrtitā) '(an initiation which) pertains to Śarva' (śārvīyam).
That very (saḥ eṣaḥ) Liberation (mokṣaḥ) is declared (kathitaḥ) to be free from vibration (niḥspandaḥ) in all the beings (sarva-jantuṣu). By striking and crushing the phases of fire and moon (agnīṣoma-kalā-ghāta-saṅghātāt), he removes (haret) the vibration (spandanam).
After imperceptibly putting (nirlakṣyam āsthāya) the external (bāhyam) vital energy (prāṇam) —which has gone outside (bāhya-gatam), which, by means of the form of darkness, has gone out (timira-ākāra-yogataḥ niryātam) through the pores of the skin (roma-kūpaiḥ tu), (and) which moves around (bhramantaṁ) through all the causes (sarva-kāraṇaiḥ)— into the center (madhye), he makes (it) move round (bhramayet), (and) after that (tatas) he emits (it) (visṛjet).
By means of an upward movement of the union (of prāṇa and apāna) (saṅghaṭṭa-utpāṭa-yogena), he penetrates (vedhayet) the group of five knots (granthi-pañcakam). (Next,) he ponders (vicintayet) over the central abode (madhya-dhāma), i.e. over the couple of modalities of (such a) union --viz. over prāṇa and apāna in total unity-- (saṅghaṭṭa-vṛtti-yugalam).
He does not resort (na... ācaret) to the union of self, ether, external reality, intellect --lit. mantra-- and body (ātma-vyoma-bahis-mantra-deha-sandhānam). This (iyam) initiation (dīkṣā) bestows an entry into the State of Śiva (śivatā-āpatti-dāyikā) upon all the living beings (sarva-jantūnām).||276-281||

On the next day (pare ahani), the sacrifice (yāgaḥ) is to be made (kāryaḥ) in honor of the Guru (guroḥ). As (yatas) without that --i.e. without a sacrifice in honor of the Guru-- (tena vinā), the rite (vidhiḥ) does not attain fullness (na... pūrṇatām yāti), therefore (tatas), (the initiate) should make it (kuryāt) with special effort --i.e. strenuously-- (yatnena). With any thing (yena yena) the Guru (guruḥ) becomes pleased (tuṣyet), he should offer (nivedayet) him (asmai) that very thing (tad tad).
The rite (vidhiḥ) of it --i.e. of initiation-- (asyāḥ) (which happens) while performing (the ritual) of the circle (cakra-carya-antarāle) is said to be (ucyate) a transmission (sañcāraḥ). The completely filled cup of liquor (ali-pātram su-sampūrṇam) remains in the hand of the lord of the heroes --i.e. in the hand of the Guru-- (vīra-indra-kara-saṁsthitam).
Having looking upon (the cup of liquor) (avalokya) (as) the Supreme Brahma (param brahma), (the initiate) should drink (that) (tad-pibet) at the Guru's command (ājñayā guroḥ). After satisfying (tarpayitvā tu) the spirits (bhūtāni), he should offer (it) (vinivedayet) to the Guru (gurave).
After having made (a prostration) on the ground (kṛtvā bhuvi) (and) bowed (natvā) to the Guru (gurum), after having satisfied (santarpya) the Khecarī-s (khecarīḥ), after having saluted respectfully (vanditvā) to his own mantra (svam mantram) and (ca), after taking (ādāya) that (cup of liquor) (tad), (after having saluted respectfully) to the sexual partner (dūtīm), to Gaṇapati --i.e. to lord Gaṇeśa-- (gaṇapatim), to the Guru-s (gurūn), to the deity who protects the field (kṣetra-pam) (and) to the multitude of heroes (vīra-saṅghātam) —in the right order beginning with the Guru --or Guru-s-- (guru-ādi-kramaśaḥ), (the initiate) should, after that, drink (tatas... pivet) himself (svayam) the substance (dravyam) which has been touched by the heroes (vīra-spṛṣṭam). It should not be otherwise anywhere (na eva anyathā kvacid)!
With those (taiḥ sākam) who do not know (avettāraḥ) about the Supreme Brahma (para-brahmaṇi), who are devoid of the impassable/inaccessible Āgama-s --revealed scriptures-- (agama-āgama-vivarjitāḥ) and (ca) who (ye) take delight in greed, delusion, arrogance, wrath, attachment and Māyā --lit. illusion-- (lobha-moha-mada-krodha-rāga-māyā-juṣaḥ), this (rite) (etad) must not be performed (na ca kartavyam), (if the yogī) desires the good for himself (śreyorthin-ātmani)||284-290||
यागादौ यागमध्ये च यागान्ते गुरुपूजने।

Yāgādau yāgamadhye ca yāgānte gurupūjane|
Naimittikeṣu prokteṣu śiṣyaḥ kuryādimaṁ vidhim||291||
The disciple (śiṣyaḥ) should perform (kuryāt) this ritual (imam vidhim) (1) at the beginning of a sacrifice (yāga-ādau), (2) in the middle of a sacrifice (yāga-madhye) and (ca) (3) at the end of a sacrifice (yāga-ante), (4) during the worship of the Guru (guru-pūjane) (and) (5) during the occasional rites which have been mentioned (before) --viz. in chapter 28-- (naimittikeṣu prokteṣu)||291||
इति रहस्यविधिः परिचर्चितो गुरुमुखानुभवैः सुपरिस्फुटः।
Iti rahasyavidhiḥ paricarcito gurumukhānubhavaiḥ suparisphuṭaḥ|
The secret rite (rahasya-vidhiḥ) has been thus thoroughly discussed (iti... paricarcitaḥ) in a very clear way (su-parisphuṭaḥ) through the experiences coming from the mouth of the Guru (guru-mukha-anubhavaiḥ)|
