The Ari's Text

Indeed, since it passed through by way of a passage in the name SAG, the name SAG is also hinted at in this drop, merely by way of a hint, to indicate that it passed through it by way of a passage. This is because these three times YHV [Yod-Hey-Vav] equal SAG in gematria.

Not matched to a seif

1SAG is hinted at in this drop, merely by way of a hint, to indicate that it passed through it by way of a passage: Meaning, as was said above (page 922, the passage beginning ‘And this is what AA says’), that although the NHY of AA took the place of the HGT, nevertheless the lights of HGT still operate there, for there is no absence in the spiritual. And therefore we discern there both the NHY of Atik and the NHY of AA, and also the first HGT of AA, as the ARI writes, in the secret of their clothing and inclusion in one another. And this is also what is said here, that although the Chazeh of AA rose to the place of the throat, and the posterior and the screen of SAG that was there was nullified, to the point that it is no longer significant for concealment and clothing, but rather it merely passes through, as above — nevertheless SAG still operates there to some measure of clothing, only it is not perceptible, since the main dominance there belongs to the NHY of AA. And that measure by which SAG necessarily operates is explained by way of a hint, namely that three times Yud-Hey-Vav equal SAG in gematria.
