O Devī, without three kinds of tattvas, no meaning of a word [can be] known. From this are all three kinds of tattvas, [from] highest to lowest. Mantras possess the nature of Śiva, are to be known as the form of Śakti, [and] in that manner [are] . Unbounded energies (amitaujas) proceed [through] the distribution of the three kinds of Tattvas�.
