Earth, water, likewise fire, wind, and space as well — the conjunction of these is the body made of the five elements. And it was said by you in the tale that you would move about among people with a form unseen. There you saw the great power (of it); by the boon of the Lord you rose up again. Therefore by the yogin who wishes to conquer Time, O Goddess, the qualities arising from the portions of their several times must always be contemplated with effort. This has been told to you, O Goddess: the sequence of the rule of the sound-Brahman. As one who wants grain (discards) the straw, so let him abandon bondage entirely. The hum (1), the bronze gong (2), likewise the horn (3), the bell (4), the lute (5), sounds born of the flute (6), the drum (7), the sound of the conch (8), and ninth the thunder of clouds (9). For one meditating on the flute-sound, all reality comes to be; but one meditating on the drum becomes free of old age and death.
