Essence of Slokam :
Your two holy feet are far above,
The fifty six rays of the essence of earth of Mooladhara,
The fifty two rays of the essence of water of Mani pooraka,
The sixty two rays of the essence of fire of Swadhishtana,
The fifty four rays of the essence of air of Anahatha,
The seventy two rays of the essence of ether of Visuddhi,
And the sixty four rays of the essence of mind of Agna chakra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion :
Your pair of lotus feet are even above those rays that are thus (disposed) :
fifty six in the earth element, fifty two in the water element, sixty two in the fire element, fifty four in the air element, twice thirty six in the space element, and sixty four in the mind element.
Sakti is both immanent and transcendent. Siva visualised as the relative of the devotee is immanent.
