She brings about growth (and development) and is the eternal (nityā) mother of the universe who instills certainty. She is the eternal Transmental. Devoid of the universe of thought constructs, she resides in the life breath of all. She is the supreme energy, called Kuṇḍalā and is the seventeenth energy (of the Moon). O Supreme Goddess! Once cast the Two Drops (bindudvaya) in the belly, one who is sustained by her, O Gaurī, obtains supreme marital bliss. [...]”.
