Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramTapopāya (तपोपाय) refers to the “means of austerity”, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “(None can) see supreme Śambhu by means of mantra, meditation, austerity (tapopāya), right conduct and the many kinds of Yogas, as long as he does not serve (his) teacher. Even if one meditates constantly on my form as (he has been) taught by the teacher, (he does not) really (experience) any Śāmbhava bliss there until he possess the Command and, b is of good disposition has (the teacher’s) feet on (his) head. Until (that happens) the mark of the qualities of the invisible (supreme being) does not arise with any speed”.
