[...] (That light) is not the moon, (or) the light of the stars; it is not the light of the rays of (the sun), the lord of the sky, nor is it the brilliance of lightning [i.e., ³Ù²¹á¸i³Ù]—nor is it like the beautiful sun (of energy). That Light (²ú³óÄå²õÄå) is seen in the belly (of consciousness) with the eye of knowledge, that is, in the eye on the path of opening (³Ü²Ô³¾±ðá¹£a). She is not seen otherwise. All (things) shine due to her: Fire, Moon, Sun and stars. As the division of Sun and Moon, she bestows the plane of oneness. Thus she is the aggregate (kula) of rays and, ferocious, she is the Supreme One (ParÄ) who has reached the final end of Kula and devours duality with the Yoga of the Fire of (Universal) Destruction.â€�.â€�(Cf. ±Ê³ÜñÂá²¹³¦²¹°ì°ù²¹).

The trident had a halo around, like that of the sun, the moon and the fire. It illuminated the quarters by means of its brilliance; caused terror even in the hearts of the brave.
