Then the goddess said, “How, O lord, should the wisdom and the means, the woman and the man, cultivate their identification with the deities?”

The lord said:

“A yogin should place the woman in front And look deeply in her eyes. He should make his body straight And meditate with one-pointed mind.

“Because of the nature of the four bodies, There is no separation, not even in the slightest. However, without understanding, A distinction is perceived between wisdom and means.

“Death is said to be the dharmakāya; saṃbhogakāya is the intermediate state after death; Nirmāṇakāya has the form of the six modes of existence; The pleasure of sex is Great Bliss.

“This male form, in the three realms, Has the nature of the four bodies; The female form, in the three realms, Also has the nature of the four bodies.

“The man is the Buddha, Because he has the nature of the four bodies. The woman, present in all directions, Is the Perfection of Wisdom‌.

“The man should do the deity-identification in the following way: ‘I am an accomplished one, Abiding in my own nature— The nature of Caṇḍa­mahā­roṣaṇa.

“ ‘My lover is an accomplished being in every way, Having fully assumed the form of Caṇḍī.’ In this way should one meditate with reverence, For a long time, understanding this reality.

“Having abandoned all activity, Wholly devoted to serving women, One should remain with one’s mind focused solely on pleasure, Until one attains accomplishment.

“When the yogin has attained accomplishment, He will become pure and unassailable. He is invisible to people When merged with the prāṇa-mind.

“Omniscient, omnipresent, all-pervading, Free from all afflictions, For him there is no disease, nor old age; Death does not exist for him.

“Poison has no effect on him, Nor does water, nor wind. Neither weapons nor enemy hordes Can ever prevail over him.

“Yet all the objects of desire arise for him Merely through a mental wish. At that moment, one becomes, effortlessly, The same as a wish-fulfilling gem.

“In all the realms of the world, Wherever one may happen to be, There palaces will arise for him With all desired things.

“Delightful, heavenly women, Adorned with beauty and youth, As numerous as stars in the sky, Will without doubt be his.

“The gods, such as Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, Śakra, Kāmadeva, and so forth, Will be his servants; And so will all the beings living in the six realms.

“Just as the yogins attain accomplishment, In exactly the same way do the yoginīs. The men have the form of Vajradhara, The women that of the ‌vajra-woman.”

Then the goddess said, “In what way, O lord, does Great Bliss arise in the body through the union of wisdom and means?”

The lord said:

“The lalanā channel, with the nature of wisdom, Is located on the left. And the rasanā, with the nature of means, Is located on the right.

“In the center between the lalanā and the rasanā Is located the avadhūtī. When the wind in the avadhūtī has become Of the same essence with semen,

“It will descend from the fontanel of the skull, Passing through the opening of the penis, inside the bhaga of the woman. By the union of the wisdom and the means, Caṇḍālī, who is located at the navel,

“Burns like a lamp—through this The best semen is caused to flow. Through this arises a lesser bliss, If the effort applied is small.

“With big effort, the bliss is intense— For this is the nature of things. Whoever can engender this bliss Through regular practice,

“Will become glorious Caṇḍa­mahā­roṣaṇa In this very life.”
