Surrounded by Vetālas, one should know it to be Aṃvilī by name. Once felled (ucchitvā) with (magic) pellets, (he) grasped (the maṇḍala which is) the hermitage of authority forever. (Thus) Śrīnātha was first called Ciñcinin in the teaching of the three lineages by virtue of the power of (the goddess’s) intense Command. [...]”.
