सूक्ष्मा मध्या तथा स्थूला चेति सा कल्प्यते त्रिधा ।
पश्चान्मनस्तया तेन ज्ञातैव वपुषा पुनः ॥ ४ ॥

sūkṣmā madhyā tathā sthūlā ceti sā kalpyate tridhā |
paścānmanastayā tena jñātaiva vapuṣā punaḥ || 4 ||

This hypostatic fragment is also conceived in its three different lights or phases, of rarity, density and rigidity or grossness, ([Sanskrit: sukhsma; madhya, sthula]) resembling the twilight, midday light, and darkness of the solar light. The first of these is called the mind or creative will, the second styled the Brahma Hiranyagarbha or the creative power, and the third is known as Virat, the framer of the material frame, and as identic with creation itself.
