From the website:
A slightly different
version is found in a tantra called Śrīmahābālatantrarāja (dpal stobs po che’i rgyud kyi rgyal po):  
Just as gold is tested by being burnt, cut and rubbed, the learned should
accept my words only after examining them, not simply out of faith or
other such reasons.
