The fourth transfiguration is hearing into the quarters of space: the diśas, the directions — a cosmic ear that takes in sound from everywhere; what is heard comes from every side, and so rescued hearing becomes all-sidedness itself.
Notably, the quarters have no verb of action — they simply "passed beyond": an expanse does not act, it contains. Such too is purified hearing: it does not snatch, does not pick out the dainty morsel (that was precisely its wound) but contains, like the regions of the sky — open to all and captured by nothing.
