O Śaṃkara, you are (my) devotee, I will tell you. The one syllabled (Vidyā) is called Parā. It is the plane of knowledge of the Siddhas. It is the, the great Vidyā which is in the heart of the Rudras. It is the Rudra part which is that of the Rudras and it is in consonance with the knowledge of Parā. It said to be the main Vidyā in Kāmākhyā, while the goddess of the sacred seat is in Pūrṇaka. The one called Yoga is in (the sacred seat called) Oṃkāra in the maṇḍala of the three seals [i.e., mudrātritaya-maṇḍala]”.
