Bhairava answers
Summary
Verses 7 to 21 are Bhairava's answer before any means. The supreme is not the outward rite taken as the thing itself. He describes a state full to the brim, and that fullness is Bhairavī (भैरवी). The name of the state comes before the list of ways.

श्लोक ७ देखि २१ कुनै साधनअघि भैरवको जवाफ हुन्। परम भनेको बाहिरी विधिलाई नै वस्तु ठानिएको कुरा होइन। उहाँ छेउसम्म भरिएको अवस्था बताउनुहुन्छ, र त्यो पूर्णता भैरवी हो। अवस्थाको नाम बाटाको सूचीभन्दा पहिले आउँछ।
