ततश् च ।

श्रुति-मूर्ध्नि प्रसिद्धेन
वासुदेवेन भाषितम् ।
तन्त्रं मिथ्येति वक्तुं नः
कथं जिह्वा प्रवर्तते ॥

Therefore, how can our tongue endeavour to say that the Tantra which is revealed by Viṣṇu who is known from the Upaniṣads is false?

ततश् च ।
श्रुति-मूर्ध्नि प्रसिद्धेन वासुदेवेन भाषितम् ।
तन्त्रं मिथ्येति वक्तुं नः कथं जिह्वा प्रवर्तते ॥

स हि सहज-संवेदन-साक्षात्-कृत–दीक्षाऽऽराधनादि-धर्मः

For He is such that He has an immediate insight into the dharma of Consecration, Propitiation etc., by virtue of the omniscience that is natural to Him.177

[177]: read sa hi sahajasaṃvedanasākṣātkṛta dīkṣārādhanādidharmaḥ

स हि सहज-संवेदन-साक्षात्-कृत–दीक्षाऽऽराधनादि-धर्मः

स्वर्ग-पुत्रादि-वैषयिक-सुखम् अनेक-दुःख-संभिन्नम्,
न चातिचिरम् अनुवर्तत

82. Considering that

the sensual pleasure to be had
from attainment of heaven, the birth of a son etc.
is inseparable from various forms of misery and does not, continue for long,

न हि सहजसंवेदनसाक्षात्कृतदीक्षाऽऽराधनादिधर्मः स्वर्गपुत्रादिवैषयिकसुखमनेकदुःखसंभिन्नम्, न चातिचिरमनुवर्तत इति

the supreme sages Sandilya,. Narada and others have rejected this pleasure,
which in their view was really misery,
and in order to attain the release left their dwellings to become mendicants;
and they have decided definitively that
He has created the Pañcarātra Sastra
which sets forth the knowledge and manner of propitiation of Himself
which constitute the sole means of attaining the unparalleled beatitude they sought.
