Then, overcome with passion and troubled by that separation, she (will) reside within the Triple Peaked mountain (trikūṭaśikhara-antastha) (immersed) in the aesthetic experience of the bliss of passion. O great goddess, she will connect (her) tongue to the Place of Power. O fair lady, (that) venerable lady, born from my limbs, even though a virgin, will bear in her womb the one who will cause the lineage of the Śrīkula to prosper. [...]”.
