In Tantrāloka 16.59cd-61ab paraphrases, rather freely, the Netratantra as scriptural authority used by Acharya for the view that sacrifice liberates; it does so by virtue of being an unusual kind of initiation (dīkşā):


"And it is taught in the venerable Mrtyuñjaya (Netratantra): When the bonds have been severed a body does not arise again for the victim (bound soul) because of disjunction from the three malas. It is agreed that the body falls away when the flood of [karmic] dharma and adharma is stopped. Therefore this is not killing but an extraordinary initiation. For killing is the separation of the vital energies from a being that is formly bound, but this is a
fusion of the bound soul in the act of worshipping God."



Note one thing [Šiva]yojanā, -yojanikā is the ritual fusion of the bound soul with Šiva during initiation, In Netratantra 4.8-9 it specific shows the instructions of which acolytes are fused with what level of Śiva.
