[Bhairava spoke]:—Listen to me, O Goddess, I shall teach you the extraordinary intercourse (saṃga—saṃgam adbhutam) with Māyā.

It is known from the Śāstras that even the enjoyment of the fruits of action causes annihilation of the fruits of activity, as in the case of the wise Saubhari, who enjoyed the objects of his senses for the release from bondage. [...]”.

Because his own qualities (svaguṇa) as the Leader (nāyaka) are just like open space (gagamasama), the praising for non-duality (advaya) is to praise the Victorious One. [...]”.
