Free, he resides in the middle of the ocean of nectar (of the Yoni) and he satisfies the universe. They too are the energizers of the letters and are adorned with the Twelve Jewels. They are on the three planes (of the triadic universe) and * * * are said to be (both) differentiated and without (phenomenal) qualities”.
