There is another reason as well. Certainly it cannot be said that the whole Itra de Gevura [crown of judgment] is given to his Nukva [female], leaving in him only the Itra of Hasadim [crown of mercies]. For it has been clarified with us, in the secret of what is written in parashat Shlach in The Book of Zohar, that "a woman's Daat is light," because her Daat contains only its half, which is the Itra de Gevura; and if the man's Daat, too, were from the Itra of Hasadim alone, his Daat would be light as well. It is therefore necessary that ZA [Zeir Anpin] have in his mind of Daat the discernment of the root of the Itra of Hasadim, and that the root of the Itra de Gevura also remain in him above, in his third mind, called Daat, and in his Guf [body] as well: although the five Hasadim expand in his six ends, as is known, discernments of the Gevurot expand in him too.
