c7.s2.37

* Thus, in the Siva Tantra, SIVA is made to say—
ममपञ्चभ्यस्मुखपञ्चाम्नायाविनिर्गताः ।
पुर्व्वश्च पश्चिमश्चैव दक्षिणश्चोत्तरस्तथा ॥
जङ्गाम्नायश्च पञ्चैते मोक्षमार्गाः प्रकीर्त्तिताः ।
आम्नया वह्वः सन्तिजङ्गाम्नायेन नोसमाः ॥
“The five Scriptures issued from my five mouths, and were the east, west, south, north, and upper. These five are known as the paths to final liberation. There are many Scriptures, but none are equal to the Upper Scripture.” *Kullúka Bhatta*, commenting on the first verse of the second chapter of *Menu*, says, the *Sruti* is twofold—*Vaidika* and *Tantrika*;
श्रुतिश्च द्विविधा वैदिकी तान्त्रिकी च ॥
