Vijnana Bhairava Tantra
अप्रबुद्धमतीनाम् हि एता बालविभीषिकाः । मातृमोदकवत्सर्वं प्रवृत्त्यर्थमुदाहृतम् ॥ १३ ॥
These things have been told (about the form of Bhairava), like the tales used to frighten children, to induce people of immature intellect to follow the spiritual path, just as the mother entices her child with sweets.
english translation
aprabuddhamatInAm hi etA bAlavibhISikAH । mAtRmodakavatsarvaM pravRttyarthamudAhRtam ॥ 13 ॥
