The word jāta, «born», is taken as the basis of the analysis and explained as paramātmano jṛmbhaṇam, «the unfolding of the Highest Ātman». Jṛmbhaṇa means «yawning, stretching, opening» — what one who has just woken does, and what an opening flower does; the word has already occurred (7, 17) and is one of this book's favorites. It is good for this reason. One who yawns does not produce the yawn by effort: he stretches, and this is a movement from within outward, without goal and without strain. So too, of the unfolding of the world it is said — not labor, but a stretching.
This description coincides with what Vaishnava books call līlā, «play»: creation is neither toil nor need, but a movement out of fullness. The Vedānta-sūtra settles the question in the same words: «[Creation is] mere play, as in the world» (2.1.33). The alphabet is here called mātṛkā, «mother», as discussed when reading Paśupata (1.3). Its first syllable is called a head, and on the head a point is placed: the letter is described as a body, with a head on which a mark is set. This device is constant in tantra and speaks to its character — letters are not signs for it, but beings.
