Note 124 — Chapter VII · THE ŚAIVA-DARŚANA.
Edward B. (Edward Byles) Cowell translation
These are the operations of the five manifestations of Śiva (see J. A. O. S. iv. 8, 18) which in their descending order are Sáthákkiyam (i.e., Sadákshaya?) or Sadá-Śiva, who is Śiva and Śakti combined, and the source of grace to all souls; Ichchuran or Mayesuran, the obscure; Sutta-vittei (Śuddhavidyá) which is properly the Hindu triad, Rudra, Vishṇu, and Brahma. They are respectively symbolised by the náda, vindu, m, u, and a of Om.
