971. The sound of the fourth letter forms the world. Inside the fourth letter abides the world. The fourth letter for the chanting ones is the fourth letter that shows the right path.

NA1 MA2 SI3

VA4 YA5: The fourth letter VA is Sakti, while the third letter

SI is Siva. The universe proceeds from the Tattvas generated by Sakti. Sakti shows the right path to the one who meditates on the fourth letter.

As you see, Va

denotes either Grace or Sakti.

Tirodhana,

NA1 : obscuration or concealment of Spiritual knowledge. Tirodhana Sakti, belonging to Sakti, is an obscurant of divine knowledge, instigator of Anava Mala to its self-destruction and impeller of desires, and creates in the embodied soul a sense of belonging to the world of pain and pleasure until the soul is ready (mature enough) to give them up for progress towards Suddha Jnana (pure knowledge) state. It is like the professor of mathematics withholding and concealing his knowledge of higher mathematics and letting his preschooler son struggle with simple additions. Once the son grows up and matures, Knowledge of higher math (SI3) is imparted.

Malas,

MA2 : impurities of the soul. Go to
