"Stepping forth" means the course of steps; and that is of two kinds: having the form of casting down the feet and having the form of the emergence of the lineage. In this regard, "casting down the feet" means the capacity to produce infinite divine powers that consist of countless millions of rays from the corners of [Tripura]sundarī. "The emergence of the lineage" means spreading forth as consisting of the circle of venerable gurus who are of the nature of infinite luminous consciousness in the forms of the divine, perfected, and human lineages. He explains these two cakra-gatherings [with the words] "the enclosure": the host of divine powers situated in the enclosing cakras, like the [figurative expression] "the platforms cry out." "The row of gurus" means the circle of gurus. "This twofold" is "the expanding forth of the lotus feet of the Mother": it is the spreading forth, that is, the unfolding, of the lotus feet, the pair of venerable feet, of the Mother, of Tripurā. This is the sense. // 35
