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. [...]”.

It was wonderfully constructed and had all the characteristic features. All the mobile and immobile objects of the world were represented there with realistic appearance. Everything was wonderfully portrayed. The mobile objects presented there surpassed the immobile ones and the immobile ones surpassed the mobile ones in excellence. [...]”.
