The subject known as sakala has vidyā and Kalā as its
Śaktis, but they lie dormant in Pralayākala souls and though
they are abiding in Vijñānākala, yet they are as if disappe-
aring. In the subject known as mantra they function as
Śuddhavidyā going to become awake but the residual trace

trace and Śuddhavidyā has awakend fully in them. This very
Śuddhavidyā is going to become Icchāśakti in Mantramahe-
śvara, while in Śiva it becomes fully manifest Icchā with the
characteristic of Sāvtāntryaśakti.
