It is the middle (seat) and is located in the centre. O beloved, accompanied by its own energy, it is called the Flower (puṣpasaṃjñā). O supreme mistress, it is said to be the pervasive lord of the sacred seat who, in the aforementioned First Seat, bears (his) own name. O Rudrā, O supreme Goddess, one should know that he is (thus) endowed with his own power”.
