Her form is that of the Mare’s Mouth, that is, the Fire which is above the three energies. The three energies are Nivṛtti, Pratiṣṭhā, and Vidyā. What is above there is the form of the (energy) Śānti as well as that of triple principle, namely, Ātmā, Vidyā, and Śiva, and OṂ (praṇava) or else the syllable AIṂ [i.e., aiṃkārarūpa]. (Her body is) at the end of power and is beyond words. (She also consists of) the sixteen energies, that is, the sixteen vowels. [...]”.
