The sect of Vaama Margis

Then a sect sprung up among them whose followers wrote books called the Tantraas in which various statements were introduced with words Shiva said.

Parvati said, Bhairava said. In these books such curious things are written as follow:-

"(Madya) wine, (Mansa) meat, Meena) fish, (Mudra-cakes), Maithuna) copulation, all these five beginning with the letter M lead to salvation in all ages." KALITANTRA.

"While in the circle of Bhairava persons of all Classes are regarded as twice-born, but after leaving the Bhairavi circle they all revert to their respective Classes." KULARNAVA.

"He, who drinks and drinks and drinks till he falls to the ground, gets up and again drinks, shall never be born again." MAHANIRMANA TANTRA.

"Excepting his mother let a man have sexual intercourse with all women. The Vedaas an the Shastras and other ancient books are like harlots. But the Saambhavi Mudra* is like a lady of high birth who lives in privacy." JNANA SANKALANI TANTRA.
