Verse 157Dialogue
The Hidden Nectar Teaching
Bhairava
Bhairava says this teaching is very precious and should not be shared casually. Some things are meant only for those ready to practice and understand them properly. It is like a rare medicine that must be given with care.
इत्येतद्विवततं देवि परमामृतमुत्तमम् । एतच्च नैव कस्यापि प्रकाश्यं तु कदाचन ॥ १५७ ॥
ity etad vivṛtaṃ devi परमामृतमुत्तमम् | etac ca naiva kasyāpi prakāśyaṃ tu kadācana || 157 ||
Translation
Thus, O Goddess, this supreme and excellent nectar has been disclosed. Yet this must never be revealed to just anyone at any time.
He closes the teaching by emphasizing its supreme value and the need for discretion in transmission.
