Kill the five demons
like fattened rams,
having fed them
on the ritual cakes
of self-awareness.
Then, O restless woman,
you will know the Supreme,
and breaking the rules
will do you no harm.
Note: The five "demons" are lust, anger, greed, etc. (kam, krodh, lu:b, and two others that I'm forgetting--perhaps a reader will remind me what the others are). According to Grierson, the phrase that I have translated as "breaking the rules" literally means "the left-handed conduct," which would suggest the "vama marga" form of Tantrism. Lalla may have meant that, but there are other possibilities.
