The listing is finished, the diagram is named, and its center is described by the word nābhi, «navel». Not «the middle» and not «a point», but precisely the navel — a word among the most significant in Indian books: from Viṣṇu's navel grows the lotus on which Brahmā is born, and creation begins from this. This word is bodily, and denotes what once connected one to a mother. The center of the diagram, then, is named as a place of connection, not a place of power — and this again is exactly what was discussed when reading the forty-second line: the highest is «between». In the very navel are placed sūrya-candramasau, «sun and moon», that is, again two, again a couple.
The navel is a trace of the fact that we were not born of ourselves. It remains for a whole lifetime and reminds one of this every day, without asking whether we remember it ourselves. And that the navel is placed at the center of the sacred diagram is, in my view, the best thing this diagram contains: at the very center, not a throne, but a memory of the one who bore you.
