And also according to the statement in the Svacchandasaṃgraha: because its place of worship is the pericarp of the four-petaled mūlādhāra lotus, it assumes the triangular shape of that lotus-womb. That phonetic particle which is the vowelless vibration consisting of primal resonance and the point (nāda and bindu), known as Kuṇḍalinī-śakti, is the life-power (jīvaśakti). Encompassing the entire universe consisting of denoted objects and denoting words within herself, she remains coiled like a sleeping serpent, submerging the state of reflective primal sound, and assuming the form of the vital breath (prāṇa). Thus, the supreme sovereign power called consciousness, having internalized the universe, being Parā Kuṇḍalikā, vibrates as reflective awareness in the form of the phonemic Kuṇḍalikā consisting of primal sound, and, submerging this nature within, shines as Prāṇa Kuṇḍalikā: such is the sacred tradition.
