[...] By means of an absorption for a period of twelve days, the state of moving across the earth is achieved. Within half the time [it takes to] blink an eyelid (苍颈尘颈峁Ｄ乺诲丑补), [the Yogin can] travel [anywhere] around the world. [...]鈥�.

He was a powerful warrior by caste and was born in the dynasty of the Moon. (One) night on the fourteenth of the dark fortnight, he left (his palace) to engage in Kaula practice. O Bhairava, in half a moment (苍颈尘颈峁Ｄ乺诲丑补) he brought a Vet膩la under his control; because of that, (the king) who observed Kaula practice, had a son called Mah墨p膩la. [...]鈥�.
