“Whichever is its third line is the sacrificial fire and the sound ‘m,’ darkness, the world of the sky, the Supreme Self, the power of knowledge, the Sāmaveda, the third pressing; and its deity is Mahādeva. Thus he makes the three lines with ash.”

The third line is given to Mahādeva, and it deserves note that tamas, “darkness,” stands beside it. This pairing is common in Śaiva books and is explained by the fact that destruction is given to Rudra, and destruction is accomplished through darkness. It is worth saying plainly, however, what results from such a distribution.
The Highest, in this mapping, turns out joined to the lowest of the three qualities; and, moreover, joined to the paramātmā, “the Supreme Self,” and to jñāna-śakti, “the power of knowledge.” That is, darkness and knowledge stand in one line, and it is worth saying why this is no contradiction within the teaching itself: destruction there is conceived as dissolution, and dissolution is a return to the unmanifest, whence knowledge also comes. Add, too, how the Vaiṣṇava side answers such mappings, for its answer here is short and rests on the same passage of the Bhāgavatam cited in the previous passage.
If the three are the administrators of the three qualities, then not one of them is the limit, for the qualities are properties of nature, not of the Highest. And the Bhāgavatam (1.2.24) adds: of the three, sattva is closest to the truth, for by it the truth is reached; but it too is a quality. That is, by its reckoning this mapping is correct within matter and does not hold beyond it; and the dispute is not over which of the three is greatest but over whether there is a limit outside the series.
Add, too, what deserves note as a merit of the construction itself: the three lines are the three sounds a, u, m, that is, the syllable om laid out on the face. One who has drawn the sign wears upon his forehead the word, uttered; and this is, to my mind, a beautiful conceit.
