The Vijnana Bhairava Tantra (1918) - Page 16

Regarding what she said, he praises her with "Well done, well done," preceding this by praising her own intuition:

Well done, well done, you have asked,

O beloved, this essence of the Tantras.

Verse 7

Though it is the most secret, O virtuous one,

Still I will tell it to you.

"O beloved, you who are satisfied by supreme bliss," and "O virtuous one, O auspicious one." He promises to tell her what she has asked, which is the essence of all scriptures, because although it is the most secret, she is fit for the instruction of the unsurpassable state. Verse 7

As being 'with parts' sakala,

Verse 8

That, O Goddess, should be known as without essence,

Like a magician's trick.

It is like a dream caused by illusion,

And a delusion like the city of Gandharvas.

Verse 9
