Thus (iti) this (etat | nom sg n), O Goddess (devi | voc sg), has been taught (kathitam | nom sg n ppp) as the highest, supreme nectar (parama-amṛtam uttamam | nom sg).

And (ca) this (etat | nom sg n) is by no means (na eva) ever (kadācana) to be made public (prakāśyam | nom sg n pfp), even (api) to anyone (kasya | gen sg).
Thus the highest nectar of the teaching has been given to you. It should not be disclosed indiscriminately or handed on to just anyone.
Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra 158
परशिष्ये खले क्रूरे अभक्ते गुरुपादयोः |
निर्विकल्पमतीनां तु वीराणामुन्नतात्मनाम् ||158||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
[This knowledge is not to be revealed] to a disciple of another [teaching] (para-śiṣye | loc sg), to a base person (khale | loc sg), to a cruel one (krūre | loc sg), to one not devoted (abhakte | loc sg) to the two feet of the Guru (guru-pādayoḥ | loc du).
But (tu) [it belongs] to the heroes (vīrāṇām | gen pl) of uplifted soul (unnatātmanām | gen pl), whose minds are free of conceptions (nirvikalpa-matīnām | gen pl).
But (tu) [it belongs] to the heroes (vīrāṇām | gen pl) of uplifted soul (unnatātmanām | gen pl), whose minds are free of conceptions (nirvikalpa-matīnām | gen pl).
Do not give this teaching to someone who merely clings outwardly to another lineage, who is base, cruel, or without devotion toward the Guru. It belongs to the clear-minded, noble vīras.
Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra 159
भक्तानां गुरुवर्गस्य दातव्यं निर्विशङ्कया |
ग्रामो राज्यम्पुरं देशः पुत्रदारकुटुम्बकम् ||159||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
To the devoted ones (bhaktānām | gen pl) of the line of Gurus (guru-vargasya | gen sg), it is to be given (dātavyam | nom sg n pfp) without hesitation (nirviśaṅkayā | ins sg).
Village (grāmaḥ | nom sg), kingdom (rājyam | nom sg), city (puram | nom sg), land (deśaḥ | nom sg), son, wife, and household (putra-dāra-kuṭumbakam | nom sg) [are to be given up].

This teaching may be given without hesitation to the devoted ones of the Guru-lineage. Everything external, possession, status, place, and family, is secondary by comparison.

सर्वमेतत्परित्यज्य ग्राह्यमेतन्मृगेक्षणे |
किमेभिरस्थिरैर्देवि स्थिरम्परमिदं धनम् |
प्राणा अपि प्रदातव्या न देयं परमामृतम् ||160||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Having abandoned (parityajya | abs) all this (sarvam etat | nom sg n), this (etat | nom sg n) is to be grasped (grāhyam | nom sg n pfp), O gazelle-eyed one (mṛga-īkṣaṇe | voc sg f).
What [use] (kim | nom sg n) [is there] with these unstable things (ebhir asthiraiḥ | ins pl), O Goddess (devi | voc sg)? This highest treasure (idaṃ param dhanam | nom sg) is lasting (sthiram | nom sg n).
Even (api) the life-breaths (prāṇāḥ | nom pl) are to be given (pradātavyāḥ | nom pl m pfp), [but] the highest nectar (parama-amṛtam | nom sg n) is not (na) to be given (deyam | nom sg n pfp).

Let go of everything impermanent and take hold of this treasure. Village, kingdom, possessions, and even life itself may be given up; this supreme nectar must not be given to the unworthy.

And (ca) the heart (hṛdayam | nom sg) of all differentiations of the Śaktis (sarva-śakti-prabhedānām | gen pl) has today (adya) been known (jñātam | nom sg n ppp).
