तत्र अधिवासनं शिष्यस्य संस्कृतयोग्यताधानम् अम्ब्लीकरणम् इव दन्तानां देवस्य कर्तव्योन्मुखत्वग्राहणम् गुरोस् तद्ग्रहणम्

Transliteration (IAST)

tatra adhivāsanaṃ śiṣyasya saṃskṛtayogyatādhānam amblīkaraṇam iva dantānāṃ devasya kartavyonmukhatvagrāhaṇam guros tadgrahaṇam

— the preliminary consecration ; — the instilling of a refined fitness ; — like the setting-on-edge of the teeth (by something sour) ; — the deity's taking-up of a readiness to act ; — the guru's apprehending of that

There, the preliminary consecration is the instilling, in the disciple, of a refined fitness — like the setting-on-edge of the teeth (by something sour); it is the deity's taking up a readiness to act, and the guru's apprehending of that.
