Vijnana Bhairava Tantra Verse 19

Sanskrit

न वह्नेर् दाहिका शक्तिर् व्यतिरिक्ता विभाव्यते।
केवलं ज्ञानसत्तायाम् प्रारम्भोऽयम् प्रवेशने॥ १९॥

Transliteration

na vahner dāhikā śaktir vyatiriktā vibhāvyate |
kevalaṁ jñānasattāyām prārambho’yam praveśane || 19 ||

Translation

(Just as) the power to burn is not separate from fire, (similarly parashakti is not different from Bhairava). However, it is imagined as separate in the beginning, as a preliminary step towards entry into its knowledge.
