trikonAntaradipikA : The light within the triangle

 

Thre is a triangle in the pericarp of the MUlAdhAra, in that there is

a disc of fire, that is the first division [of the PaNcadasi]. The

TantrarAja says, "In the centre of the eternally manifested MUlAdhAra

of all beings, there is a fire; similarly in the heart, there is the

sun. In the head below the Brahmarandhra, there is the moon. Thus, the

first, the ancient [mantra] is threefold."

 

Or when the sun circumambulates the eight-angled Meru mountain, he

illuminates only three angles [at a time], for when the sun is at

zenith in the city of Indra, it is sunset and sunrise in the cities of

Soma and of Yama respectively. The Visnu Pr. says, "When the sun [ at

midday ] passes over either of the cities of the gods, his light

extends to three cities and two intermediate points : when situated in

an intermediate point, he illuminates two fo the cities and three

intermediate points" The meaning is that she illuminates at a ttime

the three cities which are in the triangular form.

She is the light inside that triangle; i.e. the bindu inside the

first triangle of SrI Chakra.

 

MUlAdhAra and SvAdhisthAna are called Agni-mandala; ManipUra and

AnAhata are called Ravi-mandala; Visuddha and AjNA are called Candra-

mandala; SahAsrAra is called UttamA-Candra-mandala.
