Brahmā said: Viṣṇu saw the first syllable ‘a’ in the south, like the disc of the sun, the second syllable ‘u’ as refulgent as fire in the north, the third ‘m’ in the middle as refulgent as the sphere of the moon; above it, he saw the lord like the pure crystal. It was the fourth entity, devoid of attributes, nectarine, unsullied, undisturbed, devoid of mutually clashing opposites, unique, void, without an exterior or interior but still endowed with exterior and interior, as it was stationed both without and within. It was devoid of beginning, middle and end, it was the cause of bliss.
