Sublime

The Śrīvidyā Mantra Traditionally, the Śrīvidyā lineages, rituals and texts were distinguished by three matas12—kādi, hādi, and sādi.13 They are named so based on the root of the Pañcadaśi, where the mantra begins with the syllables ka, ha, or sa.

By intense dedication and service to a yogī with a pure sāttvic mind, one’s own mind can become fixed and free from personal desires. Many Hindu spiritual traditions promote surrender and service to the guru as the highest form of meditation,224 and this type of focus seems reflected in this sūtra.

In other words, Īśvara is all-knowing and is knowledge itself.
