    Thanks for the reference on uttana,i already know what pāda means
    "Only one is the fire,which is inflamed in numerous ways.Only one is the sun, which pervades the whole universe.Only one is the dawn,which illuminates all things. Similarly,all that exists is The One and it has manifested into everything here.”

    ~ Rg Veda 8.58.2

    Namaste Everyone,

    Please correct me if im wrong, but shakti is Prkriti.I have not read the vedas but I would like to believe that the latter is mentioned somewhere in there.

    When the Supreme Reality is seen in duality then "yes". i.e. Shiva and Shakti are perceived as two. In that case, one is Purusha and the other is Prakriti. However, in reality the Supreme Reality has no parts. That is why Abhinava Gupta says, "Shiva and Shakti are not aware that they are different".
