Source: Google books: Genesis and Development of Tantra (Vajrayana)Bilapraveśa (बिलप्रवेश) refers to the “ritual of entering a cave”, according to the Amoghapāśa (Amoghapāśakalparāja), a Sanskrit text dealing with homa rituals.—In the long chapter of Amoghapāśa 21b.5-23 a.2 there is described a magical practice concerning the prescription of a forest, through the performance of which the practitioner opens the door of a forest and goes to the world of the Nāgas. According to Hemasādh [695.5–8] entering a cave (bilapraveśa) and entering a forest are referred to as the results of the recitation of a certain mantra In Rājataraṅgiṇī 3.465-470 King Raṇāditya obtained a mantra called Hāṭakeśvara and entered a cave where he enjoyed the love of the Daitya women (Stein 1900: 113–114)
