    While explaining initiation in my commentary on Svaechanda Tantraat the end of the Sth chapter, I have discussed at great length that 'Mala'a s d ifferen t frOID,consciousness cann ot h 'e prov ed ", The same has beenexpressed in. Spandakarika wherein it is . stated that empirical s e e ' : f isreduced ' [ 1 0 1 incompleteness O'D account of inborn limiting cond itions 'etc,",'Thus when you put this knowledge in your nature that I am not universalself, that is bondage ~When you put ego in your body that too is . bondage.'This idea has been explained in a verse of Sp(lndakar ik 'a , wherein itis saidthatthe bli ss of SU,P' I ernienectar ibeing carried aw',a,Y'when the eriginationof cognition takes place etc.
