Metre: Anuṣṭubh; speaker and title lines: prose
[The yogi] should drink (pibet | 3p sg act opt) a little (kiṃ cit) Āṅgīrasa (āṅgīrasam | acc sg) if (yadi) semen (kṣīram | nom sg) is not (na) available (labhyate | 3p sg pas pres). Sāṃkṛti (sāṃkṛtiḥ | nom sg) said (uvāca | 3p sg act perf): “What (kim | nom sg n), O Lord (bhagavan | voc sg), is the substance (vastu | nom sg) called Āṅgīrasa (āṅgīrasākhyam | nom sg n)? Tell (kathayasva | 2p sg med imp) me (me | dat sg).”
The yogi is told to drink a little Āṅgīrasa as the substitute. Sāṃkṛti asks Dattātreya what this substance is.

स्त्रीणामाङ्गीरसं योनौ इडापानात्तु जायते |
तत्पिबेत्पुरुषो ऽभ्यासी यदि क्षीरं न लभ्यते ||156||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh; speaker and title lines: prose
Dattātreya (dattātreyaḥ | nom sg) [said]: “Women’s generative fluid (strīṇām āṅgīrasam | nom sg) arises (jāyate | 3p sg med pres) in the vagina (yonau | loc sg) through Apāna in the Iḍā (iḍā-apānāt | abl sg). The man (puruṣaḥ | nom sg) who practises [Vajrolī] (abhyāsī | nom sg m) should drink (pibet | 3p sg act opt) it (tat | acc sg n) if (yadi) semen (kṣīram | nom sg) is not (na) available (labhyate | 3p sg pas pres).”
Dattātreya identifies Āṅgīrasa as female generative fluid produced in the vagina through Apāna in the Iḍā. A Vajrolī practitioner should drink it when semen is not available.

तथापि तत्क्षीरगुणं किं चिन्मात्रमपि ध्रुवम् |

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Even so (tathā api), at least a small measure (kiṃ cin mātram | acc sg n) of the quality of semen (tat-kṣīra-guṇam | acc sg) is certainly (dhruvam) present. The yogi, however (punar), should drink (pibet | 3p sg act opt) the woman’s essence (nārī-dhātum | acc sg) in the receptacle, the vagina (kośe | loc sg), respectfully (ādaratas) and without hesitation (bhṛśam).
The woman’s essence is said to share, however slightly, the quality of semen. The yogi is therefore instructed to take it respectfully and without hesitation directly from the vagina.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
When semen is absent (kṣīra-abhāve | loc sg), that liquid (tad rasam | nom sg) would (bhavet | 3p sg act opt) certainly (dhruvam) be comparable to semen (kṣīra-tulyam | nom sg n). Listen (śṛṇu | 2p sg act imp) to the practice (abhyāsam | acc sg) of Vajrolī (vajrolyāḥ | gen sg); I shall teach (vakṣyāmi | 1p sg act fut) this most secret [method] (ati-rahasyakam | acc sg n).
This fluid serves as a substitute when semen is unavailable. The text now begins its closely guarded teaching on Vajrolī.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
A woman (nārī | nom sg) obtains (labhate | 3p sg med pres) pleasures (sukhāni | acc pl), just as (yathā) a man (puruṣaḥ | nom sg) [obtains] success in yoga (siddhim | acc sg). In a secluded place (rahasye | loc sg), [the yogi] should now (tu) position below [him] (adhaḥ sthāpya | abs) an attractive (ramyām | acc sg f), naked woman (digambarāṃ nārīm | acc sg).
Vajrolī is said to give pleasure to the woman and yogic success to the man. In a private place, a naked female partner lies beneath the yogi.

Having become naked himself (svayaṃ digambaro bhūtvā | abs) and lying (śayānaḥ | nom sg m pca) in this way (tathā) on top (upari) of her as she lies on her back (uttānāyāḥ | gen sg f), he should perform (kuryāt | 3p sg act opt) breath retention (kumbhakam | acc sg) and remain outside [her] (bahiḥ), himself (svayam) slightly hunched (kiṃcin namraḥ | nom sg m).
The naked yogi lies above the woman as she rests on her back, holds his breath, and bends slightly forward. At first, he remains outside her body.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Having tightly (dṛḍham) embraced (āliṅgya | abs) one another (anyonyam | acc sg m), he should not (na) insert (arpayet | 3p sg act opt) his penis (śiśnam | acc sg) into her vagina (yonau | loc sg). They should mutually (mithas) kiss each other’s lips (adhara-pānam | acc sg) and (ca) make (kuryāt | 3p sg act opt) throaty moans and the like (gala-ravādikam | acc sg n).
The partners embrace and kiss tightly and make sounds of pleasure, but the penis is not yet inserted into the vagina.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
And (ca) he should roll around (viluṭhet | 3p sg act opt) with pleasure (sukhenaiva | ins sg) until (yāvat) sweat is produced (prasveda-saṃbhavaḥ | nom sg). If (yadi) semen (vīryam | nom sg) should be emitted (skhalet | 3p sg act opt) outside (bahiḥ), he should then (tataḥ) rub (mardayet | 3p sg act opt) it [into his body] with sweat (svedena | ins sg).
The yogi moves pleasurably with his partner until they sweat. If he ejaculates, he is instructed to rub the semen into his body together with the sweat.

The wise practitioner (budhaḥ | nom sg) should wipe up (saṃmārjya | abs) that [mixture] (tat | acc sg n) with an old cloth (jīrṇa-vastreṇa | ins sg) and preserve (rakṣayet | 3p sg act opt) the cloth (vastram | acc sg). If (yadi) the semen (binduḥ | nom sg) is not (na) emitted (skhalati | 3p sg act pres), he should instead (tu) copulate (yabhet | 3p sg act opt) roughly (niṣṭhuram) outside [the vagina] (bahiḥ).
The mixture is collected on an old cloth and kept for later. If ejaculation does not occur, the yogi intensifies the external stimulation while still avoiding penetration.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
The penis (śiśnam | acc sg) should not (na) be inserted (arpyeta | 3p sg pas opt) into the vagina (yonau | loc sg) as long as (yāvat) semen (binduḥ | nom sg) is emitted outside (bahiḥ patet | 3p sg act opt). He should practise (kuryāt | 3p sg act opt) in this way (evam) for three days (tri-dinam | acc sg), only (eva) once (vāram | acc sg) on each [day] (ekaikam | acc sg n).
As long as semen is released externally during this preliminary training, penetration is avoided. The exercise is performed once a day for three days.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Then (tatas), using a reed tube (śara-nālena | ins sg), he should very gently (śanaiḥ śanaiḥ) perform (prakurvīta | 3p sg med opt) a blowing action (phūt-kāram | acc sg) at the cavity of the glans (vajra-kandare | loc sg) in order to make the air move (vāyu-saṃcāra-kāraṇāt | abl sg).
The yogi then blows very gently into the opening at the glans through a reed tube. This is meant to set the air inside the penis in motion.

Through practice (abhyāsena | ins sg), he should draw upward (ūrdhvam āharet | 3p sg act opt) the semen (bindum | acc sg) that has fallen into her vagina (tad-bhage patitam | acc sg m ppp). And (ca), once that semen (bindum | acc sg) has moved (calitam | acc sg m ppp), he should likewise (tathā) draw it upward (ūrdhvam ākṛṣya | abs) and retain it (rakṣayet | 3p sg act opt).
He now trains himself to draw semen that has entered the vagina back up into the penis. Once the fluid starts to move, he draws it in and retains it.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Semen preserved in this way (evaṃ ca rakṣito binduḥ | nom sg) truly (tattvataḥ) conquers (jayati | 3p sg act pres) death (mṛtyum | acc sg). Death (maraṇam | nom sg) [arises] from the fall of semen (bindu-pātena | ins sg), life (jīvanam | nom sg) from its retention (bindu-dhāraṇāt | abl sg).
Semen preserved in this way is said to conquer death: its loss means death, while its retention means life.
