Consciousness (cit), through the perception of hardness (kāṭhinya-vedanā), becomes like the earth (urvī), as if having attained the nature of a mountain (giritā). Similarly, the body of consciousness (cit-vapus), through the perception of emptiness (śūnyatā-vedanā), understands space (vyoman) itself to be empty.
