94_67

Whence it goes, thence it perishes; through whom, by self-controlled seers, may that intellect of mine be expanded—
the mother, boundless, supreme, which has transcended darkness! // 95
(Half the verse uses only two consonants.)
O Goddess, let my intellect, my understanding, be expanded. Of what kind? One that has transcended darkness, free from ignorance. Through which intellect, whence [delusion] departs, thence it vanishes—meaning, from that it is destroyed. What kind of intellect? The mother, the progenitor; likewise boundless, uncircumscribed; the highest of all, consisting of eminent knowledge. These sixteen verses occupy the sixteen spokes of the wheel; and these very same sixteen, written in forward order, form another sixteen, thus making thirty-two spokes. // 95
