In Tantrik geometry, the downward-pointing triangle represents Prakriti while the upward-pointed triangle represents Purusha. Brahma causes the two intersect, creating a six pointed star that spins around Vishnu’s finger as the Sudarshan chakra. Shiva separates the two triangles to create his rattle-drum. The star-discus represents engagement of spirit and material reality that gives rise to the world of name and form. The rattle-drum represents the separation of spiritual and material reality resulting in the nameless, formless unmanifest. While pursuing the common goal of sat-chitta-ananda, God as Vishnu preserves the realm of rasa while God as Shiva destroys the realm of rasa in the flames of tapa.
