Meditating on the All-Pervading Support
Bhairava
This verse says that reality is supported by something vast and everywhere-present, with no real boundary. If you watch a sound right at the moment it appears, your awareness can open into that boundless background. The “bow” image suggests a poised, focused practice, like drawing a bow before release.
विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् वनत्यो विभुवनधराधारो व्यापकश्चावखलावधप् । शब्दान्प्रवतक्षणं ध्यायन्कृताथोऽथाधनुरूपत् ॥ १३२ ॥
vijñāna-bhairava-tantram | niḥśeṣaṃ viśva-bhuvana-dharādhāro vyāpakaś cākhila-āvadhāḥ | śabdān pravṛtta-kṣaṇaṃ dhyāyan kṛtārtho 'tha dhānurūpataḥ || 132 ||
Translation
The support of the entire world of worlds is the all-pervading one, whose limits are nowhere. Meditating on sounds at the instant they arise, one becomes fulfilled and assumes the nature of the bow.
To recognize the all-pervading ground of reality and use attention on arising sound as a means of entering completeness.
