The Essence of the Tantra16.15

16.15

एवं जालप्रयोगाकृष्टो जीवो दार्भं जातीफलादि वा शरीरं समाविष्टो भवति न च स्पन्दते मनःप्रणादिसामग्र्यभावात् तदनुध्यानबलात् तु स्पन्दते ऽपि तादृशे ऽपि तस्मिन् पूर्ववत् प्रोक्षणादिसंस्कारः पूर्णाहुतियोजनिकान्तः

Transliteration (IAST)

evaṃ jālaprayogākṛṣṭo jīvo dārbhaṃ jātīphalādi vā śarīraṃ samāviṣṭo bhavati na ca spandate manaḥpraṇādisāmagryabhāvāt tadanudhyānabalāt tu spandate 'pi tādṛśe 'pi tasmin pūrvavat prokṣaṇādisaṃskāraḥ pūrṇāhutiyojanikāntaḥ

— drawn in by the ritual of the Net ; — the soul ; — a body made of darbha-grass ; — a nutmeg or the like ; — having entered into, having taken possession of ; — and it does not stir (move) ; — from the absence of the full apparatus of mind, breath, and the rest ; — by the force of meditation upon it ; — it does even stir ; — the sacrament of sprinkling and the rest ; — ending with the conjoining of the full oblation (pūrṇāhuti)

Thus the soul, drawn in by the ritual of the Net, comes to occupy a body made of darbha-grass, or a nutmeg or the like, and does not stir, for it lacks the full apparatus of mind, breath, and the rest; yet by the force of meditation upon it, it even stirs. And upon it, in such a state, is performed as before the sacrament of sprinkling and the rest, ending with the conjoining of the full oblation.
