The Great Place is in the middle. The gross, subtle, supreme, short, and prolated (energies of all things represented by the letters) go to Krameśvara. In the middle of that is the abode of the venerable teacher (śrīgurusthāna) who bestows the fruit of liberation and worldly benefits. And (there also are) those divisions of the Current of the Teacher (i.e the Divine Current) (which flows out through the lineages of) the Aged, the Youth and the Child. [...]”.
