Devi said-Tell me of the nature of speech. Ishvara said-Vital breath comes from the Avyakta, mind arises from vital breath. Speech comes from mind and is dissolved into mind. Ishvara said-The moon is at the root of the palate. The sun is at the root of the navel.
Vital breath is above the sun and mind is below the moon.
The Cit is above the sun and the jiva is above the moon. Mahadevi, this is to be learned from the mouth of a guru. Shiva is without. Time is in space and causes ageing. Shiva said-Vital breath wants food.
