9. From the red bindu as it swelled emerged the sprout of the Sound-

Brahman [Nada]; from that [then] came [the elemental principles]

Aether, Air, Fire, Water Earth and the letters of the alphabet.

 

10. [but in fact] the white bindu is equally the origin of Aether,

Air, Fire, Water and Earth; the whole universe from the most minute

to the [all- embracing] sphere [of the cosmic egg] consists of these

five transformation-modes.

 

11. Just as the two bindus are without intrinsic seperation or

difference from one another so too are the Insight and [mentioned

above, registered by a fifteen-letter mantra] and the [Goddess] it

intuits not different.

 

12. Letterd sound and meaning are eternally joined to one another, as

Siva and Sakti are, creation sustaining, and dissolution are divided

as three on the pattern of the three bindus [the joint Supreme bindu,

the white and the red].

 

13. He who intuits, the intuition nad the intuited are the three

bindus nad forms of seed[bija]; the three lights [sun, moon, and

fire], the three pithas [Kamagiri, Purnasaila and Jalandhara,

transformations of the Goddess as conciousness], the three Saktis [or

energies, Iccha, desire, Jnana, knowledge and Kriya, action] are that

by which [the bindus] are known.

 

14. In each of these in order are the three lingams [bana, Itara, and

Para], and the three matrikas [Pasyanti, Madhyama, and Vaikari]. She

who is this threefold body is the Divine Insight, which is the fourth

pitha [ a transcendent state of conciousness] as well as the source

of all differentiation.
