And there is no contradiction between what precedes and what follows; for just as with specific modes of worship, a specific locus is also intended for a specific effect. Previously, the worship of all [three seeds] was stated for the sake of omniscience; now the result of dharma and the rest is stated for each single seed syllable, and thus the distinction is established. Furthermore, the ādhāra lotus is the Kāmagiri seat and the abode of Kāmeśvarī; the Śrīsaubhāgyamārga also reinforces this point. O Bhāratī! Those who, even for an instant, behold this sky, [meaning] the atmosphere, as if veiled by a mass of vermilion powder, and also the earth as if submerged in an expanse of dissolved red lac, [that is,] flooded by a stream of liquid alaktaka—by what? Through your radiance: through the expanse of luster of the holy form of you who are intensely red in color, spread out everywhere. Having done what? Being single-minded, [that is,] having one-pointed minds. Having sat down properly on one's seat, having destroyed defects through breath-controls, having withdrawn the sense faculties along with the mind from their objects—such is the meaning.
