The sixteen Knots [i.e., anantagranthi] are parts of the goddess鈥檚 body. Accordingly, they are projected into the adept鈥檚 body to transform it into the Triple Fort, that is, the triangular body of the goddess replete with the energies of the sacred seats. She is both with form, consisting of the letters and mantras, and without form as the Transmental (尘补苍辞苍尘补苍墨) energy of the god.
