Ciñcinīnātha, who bestows the fruit of all desires, has arisen (there). He is in the middle of the Circle of the Triangle within the heart of its womb. The root and branches (of the Tamarind) are very extensive [i.e., mūlaśākhā-suvistīrṇa] and it bears the fruit of the Divine Current. Kaula is the sprout, Kula, the root and it grows in Śiva's Circle. [...]”.
