मांत्री क्रियावती दीक्षा कुंडमंडलपूर्विका ॥ मंदमंदतरोद्देशात्कर्तव्या गुरुणा बहिः ॥ ११ ॥
The Mantra form of initiation is coupled with the rites performed in the sacrificial altar. This has to be performed by the preceptor (guru) externally with respect to the dull-witted disciple.
english translation
शक्तिपातानुसारेण शिष्यो ऽनुग्रहमर्हति ॥ शैवधर्मानुसारस्य तन्मूलत्वात्समासतः ॥ १२ ॥
The disciple receives blessing in respect of his Śakti, because the pursuit of Śaivite virtue has that as the condition in brief.
english translation
यत्र शक्तिर्न पतिता तत्र शुद्धिर्न जायते ॥ न विद्या न शिवाचारो न मुक्तिर्न च सिद्धयः ॥ १३ ॥
Where the Śakti is not grasped neither purity nor Vidyā nor right conduct nor salvation nor any achievement is secured.
english translation
तस्माल्लिंगानि संवीक्ष्य शक्तिपातस्य भूयसः ॥ ज्ञानेन क्रियया वाथ गुरुश्शिष्यं विशोधयेत् ॥ १४ ॥
Hence, observing the symbols for securing Śakti, the preceptor shall purify and consecrate the disciple either by knowledge or by means of rites.
english translation
यो ऽन्यथा कुरुते मोहात्स विनश्यति दुर्मतिः ॥ तस्मात्सर्वप्रकारेण गुरुः शिष्यं परीक्षयेत् ॥ १५ ॥
He who performs otherwise is the wicked person who perishes. Hence the preceptor shall test the disciple in every respect.
