“[The meaning of the letters in the seed (bīja) klīṁ are explained as follows:] The letter k is the Puruṣa, Kṛṣṇa, who is possessed of a form of eternal being, consciousness, and bliss. The letter ī is the Prakṛti, Rādhā, the Īśvarī of eternal Vṛndāvana. [The letter] L, furthermore, is said to be the blissful pleasure of their prema [for one another]. The bindu sound [i.e., the anusvara—ṁ] is refers to the sweetness of [their] kissing and embracing.”
