In the nineteenth verse of his Cidvilāsastava ('Hymn to the Play of Consciousness'), Amṛtānanda teaches about the supreme dynamism of the Śrīcakra as follows:
मेदिनीप्रमुखमाशिवं मतं तत्त्वचक्रमिह चक्रमुत्तमम् ।
स्वस्वभावसमवायभासिनी देवता भवति सांविदी कला ॥ १९ ॥
medinīpramukham āśivaṃ mataṃ tattvacakram iha cakram uttamam |
svasvabhāvasamavāyabhāsinī devatā bhavati sāṃvidī kalā || 19 ||
"The great wheel of all the reality levels, from earth to Śiva, is understood here as the supreme [Śrī]cakra. The central deity [of that cakra], radiantly manifesting as united with one’s inherent nature, is the dynamism of consciousness." (translation by Ben Williams)
