corresponds essentially to your name 'Tripurā'—this is how it is to be construed. By the phrase 'whatever entity', there is understood the triad of dharma and the rest, the triad of waking and the other [states], the triad of morning and the other [times of day], the triad of the suṣumnā and the rest, the triad of the vyāhṛtis, the triad of time, the triad of grammatical persons, the triad of genders, the triad of numbers, the triad of causes, the triad of fire and the other [elements], and so forth.
