excess of the object of thought, while this (Power of Thought) is still undivided like (the image) of a town in a mirror.
"(ऋ-ॠ)-as the twofold Will reposing upon the realm of the Void, touches the luminous principle (tejas) by the agency of the Power of Thought, it reveals itself in the sound ऋ, like the lightning-flash and the lightning.
"(लृ-ॡ)-when the same (Will) advances far in the realm of the Void, and owing to a certain deficiency of the Power of Thought assumes the form of wood and stone, it reveals itself in the same way as the lightning-flash and the lightning, by means of the sound लृ because of its solid nature; hence these things (wood etc.) are similarly eternal, because they sink to rest solely in the self. The term "neuter" is applied because (the लृ and ॡ) are unable to generate any other letter (bija, a mystical letter forming the essential part of the spell of a deity), owing to their lack of instinct outwards.
"(ए)-a triangular radical (bija) due to the predominance of the Uppermost whilst the Uppermost and Joy are proceeding in Will, (its triangular form being) because of the equilibrium of Will, Thought, and Action.
