He in turn is now giving it Sa峁僾arta, and with it the counsel to return to his terrestial home in the Him膩layas (190-201). 袧械 warns that, due to the holiness of the message, it should not be disclosed to the faithless or disinterested (202-203a).

The rewards for those who turn to the Padma Tantra are then listed (207-209).
