CetanArUpa : In the form of consciousness.

 

Samksepa-SArirakAcArya says, "The pure cit-sakti of the supreme Lord

is called caitanya." The GaudapAda-sutra [3] also , "Sakti is caitanya

itself." The De. BhA. Pr,"we meditate upon that primeval vidyA which

is in the form of caitanya of all, and which guides our senses." This

means the tripartite GAyatri. Hence the Matsya Pr says, "They know the

BhAgavata [Pr.] which begins with Gayathri" In the Sruti [Tai. Up.,

II. 8. 1]:"That of bliss [brahman] is to be discussed" That, the

energy in the form of consciousness. Thus the holy SamkarAranya

explains it in his commentary called VidyAratna, as the vimarsa form.
