Meaning

The worship of Ādyā Kālī in the sixth chapter already described the offerings, including kāraṇa, the Tantra's term for wine, and the other elements of Kaula worship. What the Tantra prescribes here is its own teaching, given as the text presents it; taking up any practice is a matter for one's tradition and teacher.
