It moves not, neither is It motionless. Mahakala, the Destroyer of the Universe, is Thy Image. A Chandala versed in the knowledge of Kaulika doctrine excels a Brahmana, and a Brahmana who is wanting in such knowledge is beneath even a Chandala. Lay it to the heart and ponder over it. Worship without Truth is useless, and so too without Truth is the Japa of Mantras and the performance of Tapas.
Truth is divorced from concealment.
There is no concealment without untruth. In spite of that Truth will remain strong, though Tapas and Charity become weakened. By his performance of Vrata he incurs the sin of killing a Brahmana, and similarly by being invested with the sacred thread he is degraded. To an image dedicated by rites other than those prescribed by Shambhu the Deva never comes. Benefit there is none either in this or the next world.
