Called action, she is the mother of the letters (varṇamātṛkā). Called will, (her) form is mantra [i.e., mantrarūpā]. She is (both) the object of denotation and the denotator. Associated with (both) cause and effect, she emerges from within the pure (energy of the Moon) (vimalānta). She has three natures, she resides on three paths, she is endowed with the three causes and the three energies. She is associated with the letter E. (As) the Supreme Power, she resides within Śiva”.
