In her wondrous beauty, where the 'person' meets her Power, Śakti bends over Ahaṅkāra, the "I" concept, which is but herself tainted by her entry into this world of duality (Pls. XVIII, XIX). The goddess is near to losing her divinity while her beauty becomes animated by emotions (Pls. LX, LXIV, XIII).¹⁴⁴ So far and no further do these angels descend for the sake of the souls in bondage (paśu) whom they introduce to the higher hierarchy.
