Sanatkumāra’s Bhāgavata Tantra: Tattvas, Māyā-Bonds, Embodiment, and the Necessity of Dīkṣā
पाशबंधनविच्छेदो दीक्षयैव प्रजायते । अतो बंधनविच्छित्त्यै मंत्रदीक्षां समाचरेत् ॥ १०७ ॥
pāśabaṃdhanavicchedo dīkṣayaiva prajāyate | ato baṃdhanavicchittyai maṃtradīkṣāṃ samācaret || 107 ||
ការកាត់ផ្តាច់ចំណងដូចខ្សែពួរ កើតមានបានតែដោយ “ទិក្សា” (ការបញ្ចូលព្រះមន្ត/ការចូលពិធីបួស) ប៉ុណ្ណោះ។ ដូច្នេះ ដើម្បីបំបែកចំណងនោះ គួរធ្វើទិក្សាមន្តដោយគោរពតាមវិធី។

It teaches that true release from binding forces (pāśa-bandhana)—karmic and inner compulsions—depends on receiving proper dīkṣā, not merely on self-directed practice.
By emphasizing mantra-dīkṣā, it points to disciplined, guru-guided worship where mantra becomes the focused vehicle of devotion, leading the devotee toward freedom from bondage.
It highlights the ritual-technical principle that mantras are to be received through authorized initiation (a prayoga/vidhi-based discipline), aligning practice with śāstric procedure rather than improvisation.
