The clear ground of realising Taijasa as of the same nature as U is the common feature of “Superiority Similarly another plain reason of such identity is being in “the middle”. Kārika 1.21 मकारभावे प्राज्ञस्य मानसामान्यमुत्कटम् । मात्रासंप्रतिपत्तौ तु लयसामान्यमेव च ॥ २१ ॥ makārabhāve prājñasya mānasāmānyamutkaṭam | mātrāsaṃpratipattau tu layasāmānyameva ca || 21 || మకారభావే ప్రాజ్ఞస్య మానసామాన్యముత్కటమ్ । మాత్రాసంప్రతిపత్తౌ తు లయసామాన్యమేవ చ ॥ ౨౧ ॥ 21. Of the identity of Prājña and M (म) the clear reason is the common feature, i.e., they both are the ‘measure’. The other reason for such identity is another common feature, namely, all become one in both Prājña and M. Kārika 1.22 त्रिषु धामसु यस्तुल्यं सामान्यं वेत्ति निश्चितः । स पूज्यः सर्वभूतानां वन्द्यश्चैव महामुनिः ॥ २२ ॥ triṣu dhāmasu yastulyaṃ sāmānyaṃ vetti niścitaḥ | sa pūjyaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ vandyaścaiva mahāmuniḥ || 22 || త్రిషు ధామసు యస్తుల్యం సామాన్యం వేత్తి నిశ్చితః । స పూజ్యః సర్వభూతానాం వన్ద్యశ్చైవ మహామునిః ॥ ౨౨ ॥ 22. He who knows without doubt, what the ‘common features’ are in the three states, is worshipped and adored by all beings and he is also the greatest sage.

Prājña whose sphere is deep sleep is M (म) the third part (letter) of Aum, because it is both the measure and that wherein all become one. One who knows this (identity of Prājña and M) is able to measure all (realise the real nature of the world) and also comprehends all within himself. Kārika 1.19 viśvasyātvavivakṣāyām ādisāmānyam utkaṭam, mātrāsampratipattau syādāptisāmānyameva ca. (19) विश्वस्यात्वविक्षायामादिसामान्यमुत्कटम्। मात्रासम्प्रतिपत्तौ स्यादाप्तिसामान्यमेव च॥ 19 ॥ విశ్వస్యాత్వవిక్షాయామాదిసామాన్యముత్కటమ్। మాత్రాసమ్ప్రతిపత్తౌ స్యాదాప్తిసామాన్యమేవ చ॥ 19 ॥ 19. When the identity of Viśva and the sound (letter) A is intended to be described, the conspicuous ground is the circumstance of each being the first (in their respective position); another reason for this identity is also the fact of the all-pervasiveness of each.

(10) స్వప్రస్థానస్తైజస ఉకారో ద్వితీయా మాత్రోత్కర్షాదుభయత్వాద్వా। ఉత్కర్షతి హ వై జ్ఞానసన్తతిం సమానశ్చ భవతి నాస్యాబ్రహ్మవిత్కులే భవతి య ఏవం వేద॥ 10॥ 10. Taijasa, whose sphere of activity is the dream state, is U (उ), the second letter (of Aum) on account of superiority or on account of being in between the two. He who knows this attains to a superior knowledge, is treated equally by all alike and finds no one in his line who is not a knower of Brahman. Mantra 1.11 सुषुप्तस्थान: प्राज्ञो मकारस्तृतीया मात्रा मितेरपीतेर्वा मिनोति ह वा इदं सर्वमपीतिश्च भवति य एवं वेद॥ 11॥ suṣuptasthānaḥ prājño makārastṛtīyā mātrā miteḥ apītervā minoti ha vā idaṁ sarvamapītiśca bhavati ya evaṁ veda. (11) సుషుప్తస్థాన: ప్రాజ్ఞో మకారస్తృతీయా మాత్రా మితేరపీతేర్వా మినోతి హ వా ఇదం సర్వమపీతిశ్చ భవతి య ఏవం వేద॥ 11॥ 11. Prājña whose sphere is deep sleep is M (म) the third part (letter) of Aum, because it is both the measure and that wherein all become one. One who knows this (identity of Prājña and M) is able to measure all (realise the real nature of the world) and also comprehends all within himself.
