Continuing the ultimate category of ṃk-knowledge, there is a discussion of the mahat-tattva (1-4), followed by an explanation of the evolution of ṃk-ٲٳٱ (5-25). Then (26-29), in a section relating to the discursive knowledge mentioned before, it is pointed out that even this is Lakṣmī’s gift. Then what was not explained at all in the preceding chapter is taken up here it is pointed out that yoga is of two kinds, and ṃy. These are given particular meanings by Lakṣmī (30-41).
