Verse 11

In plain words

The enjoyer of the three is the lord of heroes. When the three, waking and the rest, have been explained in this way, in keeping with the world and with the yogin, there is one in whom, through the withdrawal of the universe by uniting with the wheel of powers, the fullness of the fourth shines, pervading all things as non-difference. Rising to its height, he enters the consciousness spoken of before, which is beyond the fourth. One who, by the method of uniting with the wheel of powers, sees these three, waking and the rest, as shot through with the bliss of the fourth, and who, through the depth of his entry into that awareness, sees them as nothing but a flowing stream of the taste of bliss, in which the impressions of difference have melted away: he is the enjoyer, the one who savours, of these three. That is why, in keeping with the teaching: "Whatever is to be enjoyed in the three abodes, and the one declared to be the enjoyer: but one who knows both of these, though he enjoys, is not stained." he is spoken of in the great traditions as one whose sovereignty over his own Self has no rival, filled with supreme bliss, the lord and master of the heroes, that is, of the senses, which are eager to devour the differences of becoming, one who has entered into the being of Manthānabhairava. But one who is not of this kind is merely a worldly paśu, enjoyed by the states of waking and the rest. Even a yogin who has not risen to this height is no lord of heroes but simply deluded: that is what is said. This is set out at length in the Svacchanda and other scriptures, in passages such as: "The yogin, by a free yoga that moves in free movement, joined in the free state, attains equality with Svacchanda." And in the Spanda too it is gathered up in the verse: "His attainment is constant, never failing in the three states."
