O Śambhu, she is by herself (spontaneously) Śāmbhavā within the lineage as well as the plane of the sixteen which is the arising of the venerable path of (mount) Meru. O god! you are the seventeenth and I am one embraced (samāliṅgitā) by the Flower (of the Divine Current) [tuṃtutitrinaka] (?), the nine-fold sons and the sixteen. [...]”.
