12.11.2

tāntrikāḥ paricaryāyāṃ kevalasya śriyaḥ pateḥ /
aṅgopāṅgāyudhākalpaṃ kalpayanti yathā ca yaiḥ //

2. & 3. When treating of Meditation and course of worship, the able teachers (authors) of Tantras speak of the Lord of Sri, who is pure consciousness, as endowed with the several members of the body (hands, feet etc.,), waited upon by attendants like Garuda, as armed with weapons and adorned with jewels and ornaments—O Suta, be pleased to tell us what principles are considered to constitute them and how this conception has arisen. May thou be blessed! Please tell us who are eager to listen to the course of active worship, with a thorough and practical knowledge of which a mortal may become an immortal (attain Moksha).
