Tantralok 1 45
दीक्षापि बौद्धविज्ञानपूर्वा सत्यं विमोचिका। तेन तत्रापि बौद्धस्य ज्ञानस्यास्ति प्रधानता॥४५॥
Dīkṣāpi bauddhavijñānapūrvā satyaṁ vimocikā| Tena tatrāpi bauddhasya jñānasyāsti pradhānatā||45||
Initiation (dīkṣā) (is) also (api) truly (satyam) giver of Liberation (vimocikā) if preceded by bauddhajñāna --intellectual knowledge-- (bauddha-vijñāna-pūrvā). Therefore (tena), even (api) in that case (tatra) there is (asti) preeminence and superiority (pradhānatā) of bauddhajñāna (bauddhasya jñānasya) --i.e. bauddhajñāna in the disciple is more important than pauruṣajñāna at the time of being initiated--||45||
