The Second Level of Self-Elaboration arises from the 192 gaps between the 192 syllables of Richa 2-9.
Looking at Pada 4 (which is the first of 3 Padas of Richa 2), we see that between the first two syllables (A and gnihi), emerges the 1st sukta of the first Mandala. Between gnihi and pu, arises Sukta #2. Between pu and rve, emerges Sukta #3.
In this fashion, the entire 192 Suktas of the first Mandala emerge from the gaps between the 192 syllables of Richa 2-9 of the first Sukta.
Next, we will look at the Third Level of Self-Elaboration, which will generate the tenth Mandala from the gaps between the 192 Suktas of the first Mandala.
Please note that each further elaboration is a commentary on the mechanics of transformation present within the gaps of the previous level of self-elaboration.
