The Âkâśa which is ten times the air, holds all beings; and ten times greater is Bhutâdi (Ahaṅkâra) which surrounds the Âkâśa, and ten times the Bhutâdi is Mahâkâśa which stands holding them in turn, while it is itself held by the Unmanifested eternal. The mahatattva, &c., are called vikâra and vikârî (producer of change and that in which the change is produced) in turn in relation to the support each gives and takes from the other.—51-53.
