A woman (nārī | nom sg) too (ca) should practise (abhyaset | 3p sg act opt) Vajrolī (vajrolīm | acc sg), solely (eva) for the retention of Rajas (rajo-rakṣārtham | acc sg). If (yadi) a woman (nārī | nom sg) retains (rakṣet | 3p sg act opt) Rajas (rajaḥ | acc sg) by means of Vajrolī (vajrolyā | ins sg), she (sā | nom sg f) is truly (hi) a Yoginī (yoginī | nom sg).
A woman too may practise Vajrolī in order to retain her Rajas. If she succeeds, the text calls her a true Yoginī.

She knows (vetti | 3p sg act pres) the past and the future (atītānāgatam | acc sg n) and (vā) is certain (dhruvam) to become (bhavet | 3p sg act opt) a Sky-Roving Yoginī (khecarī | nom sg f). As a result of practising Vajrolī (vajroly-abhyāsa-yogataḥ), she also (ca) obtains (labhate | 3p sg med pres) perfection of the body (deha-siddhim | acc sg).
Such a Yoginī knows past and future, becomes a Sky-Rover, and attains perfection of the body through Vajrolī.

I shall teach (vakṣye | 1p sg act fut) the sequence (kramam | acc sg) of the practice (abhyāsasya | gen sg) for women (nārīṇām | gen pl) too (ca), gradually, step by step (śanaiḥ śanaiḥ). [A woman] should copulate (yabhayet | 3p sg act opt caus) forcefully (niṣṭhuram), with a man’s penis (puṃsāṃ śiśnena | ins sg) outside [her vagina] (bahiḥ), until (yat) there is a result, ejaculation (phalam | acc sg).
The graduated training for women now begins. First, the practitioner vigorously stimulates a man’s penis outside her vagina until he ejaculates.

Metre: Anuṣṭubh
She should draw up (samāharet | 3p sg act opt) her semen filled with Rajas (rajaḥ-pūrita-vīryam | acc sg) and that semen from the penis (taṃ śiśna-vīryam | acc sg). Having pulled (ākuñcya | abs) the penis (liṅgam | acc sg) with both hands (karābhyām | ins du), she should insert (praveśayet | 3p sg act opt caus) only (mātram | acc sg n) the glans (maṇim | acc sg).

For as long as (yāvat) the glans is inserted (maṇi-praveśaḥ | nom sg), she should continue (ācaret | 3p sg act opt) the practice (abhyāsam | acc sg) for that long (tāvat). After that (tataḥ param), if (cet) she is capable (samarthā | nom sg f), she should draw (ākuñcayet | 3p sg act opt caus) Rajas (rajaḥ | acc sg) upward (ūrdhvam).
She continues the exercise for as long as the glans remains inserted. Once able, she then attempts to draw Rajas upward as well.

Then (tadā) her (tasyāḥ | gen sg f) Rajas (rajaḥ | nom sg) is not (na) lost (nāśaṃ gacchati | 3p sg act pres), without doubt (na saṃśayaḥ | nom sg). The Nāda (nādaḥ | nom sg) in her body (tasyāḥ śarīre | loc sg) instead (tu) becomes (gacchati | 3p sg act pres) entirely (eva) Bindu (bindutām | acc sg).
Her Rajas is thereby preserved. The text also describes this as the complete transformation of Nāda within her body into Bindu.

When that semen (sa binduḥ | nom sg) and that Rajas (tad rajaḥ | nom sg), having become one (ekī-bhūya | abs), are situated together in their own body (sva-deha-gau | nom du m), all supernatural powers (sarva-siddhiḥ | nom sg) arise (prajāyate | 3p sg med pres) through applying the practice of Vajrolī (vajrolyābhyāsa-yogena | ins sg).
When semen and Rajas become one within the body, Vajrolī is said to produce every supernatural power.

This yoga (ayaṃ yogaḥ | nom sg) succeeds (sidhyeta | 3p sg med opt) for the meritorious (puṇyavatām | gen pl m), the fortunate (dhanyānām | gen pl m), those established in truth (tattva-śālinām | gen pl m), and those free from malice (nirmatsarāṇām | gen pl m), but not (na tu) for those established in malice (mātsarya-śālinām | gen pl m).
This practice succeeds for people endowed with merit, good fortune, truthfulness, and freedom from malice. Those ruled by envy do not attain its goal.

She should enter into union (sandhim ācaret | 3p sg act opt) with a [man] who knows this yoga treatise (yo vettīmaṃ yoga-śāstram | nom sg m).

Of all yogas (sarveṣām api yogānām | gen pl), this is the yoga (ayaṃ yogaḥ | nom sg) that brings pleasure (sukhaṃ-karaḥ | nom sg m). Therefore (tasmāt), this [way] now being taught (ayaṃ vakṣyamāṇaḥ | nom sg m) is enjoyment (bhogaḥ | nom sg) and (ca) yoga (yogaḥ | nom sg) and bestows liberation (muktidaḥ | nom sg m).
Of all yogas, the text claims, this one uniquely combines pleasure with practice. It unites enjoyment and yoga while also promising liberation.
