## Reading (machine draft, verse-mapped)

**tsa-a03-v01** — The light-formed Siva-tattva has been told; but when it cannot enter the undivided mandala, seeing the greater power of autonomy alone, it experiences the non-conceptual immersion of Bhairava. This is his teaching: all this mass of states is a reflection in the sky of knowing — since reflection is marked by appearing in difference, unable to stand alone, shining only by mixture with another. The mark of reflection: a face in a mirror, taste in teeth-water, smell in nostrils, a paired touch in the bliss-organ, a spear-and-pitchfork touch in the inner touch-organ, an echo in the sky.
**tsa-a03-v10** — There the three primary powers of the Supreme Lord are unsurpassable-will-awakening — that very triad is a i u. From this triad the whole play of powers is carried. In the unsurpassable, rest is bliss; rest in will is rulership; awakening's rest is the wave. The beginning of action-power is that triad ā ī ū.
**tsa-a03-v11** — There the prior triad of contemplations, being the essence of the light-part, is sun-natured; the final triad, by the prevalence of rest-natured bliss, is moon-natured — up to where the entry of the action-portion does not reach.
**tsa-a03-v12** — When action enters will and rulership, what is entered and ruled is called iṣyamāṇa and īśyamāṇa. It has two kinds: by mere light, ra-utterance; by rest, la-utterance — ra and la being light-and-stopping in nature. And the willed is not distinct like the external — in distinctness would lie its own creation; nor is will or rulership distinct — from non-distinctness only hearing stands for ra and la, no stable expression.
**tsa-a03-v13** — This quad of letters is neuter, because it bears both shades: ṛ ṝ ḷ ḹ.
**tsa-a03-v02** — That taste is not primary, because its works — curing disease and the rest — proceed by an occult eye.
**tsa-a03-v03** — Nor are smell and touch primary: they belong to qualities, and in the qualitied's absence they cannot be, since the effect-chain begins without them.
**tsa-a03-v04** — And they are not simply nonexistent either — as body-stripping, seed, and the rest show.
**tsa-a03-v05** — Sound too is not primary: someone speaks it, and it is heard like an echo of one arriving.
**tsa-a03-v06** — As that reflected thing shines, so the world shines in the light of the Supreme Lord.
**tsa-a03-v07** — But what would the image here be? Let it not be anything at all.
**tsa-a03-v08** — How is that causeless? Then comes the question of the reason: why? By the logic of mirror-speech the reason will be the Supreme Lord's power itself — the synonym of autonomy. And because it bears the world's reflection, the Lord's world-selfhood follows: consciousness-made is the world, the place where consciousness manifests — this world here is obstruction, reflection-bearing. But that world-selfhood is the Lord's own nature, not un-contradicted, since self-nature contemplation of consciousness-nature cannot be.
**tsa-a03-v09** — For in contemplation of the self's own nature there would in reality be mere inertness; and this contemplation does not depend on another — it is inseparable from consciousness-nature alone, the womb of supreme sound, so declared: as much as he is the Lord's world-establishing group of powers, so much does he contemplate.
