- कोशेषु पञ्चस्वधिराजमाना बुद्धिर्भवानी प्रतिदेहगेहम् । साक्षी शिवः सर्वगतोऽन्तरात्मा सा काशिकाहं निजबोधरूपा ॥३॥
- Intelligence ruling in the five sheaths as Bhavani in every bodily home; Shiva the witness, the all-pervading inner Self: that Kashi am I, of the nature of my own awareness.
Bhavani as intelligence and Shiva as witness are the active and passive aspects of one consciousness pervading the five sheaths. The body-temple houses what was never confined by walls.
