The Siddha said: “She is the most excellent source and womb of beings—stainless, all-pervading, and of vast extension; an ancient resting-place; the bearer of waters; the giver of fame and nourishment. She upholds the whole universe; her very form is the fulfillment of what is desired and rightly accomplished. She is the path and support of the world, sustaining even the mighty and the enduring.”
