The Ari's Text

*Know that this light of the second head of Arich Anpin is also drawn and shines in this beard, which issues from the third head, namely the hidden Mocha (Mocha Stimaa). Therefore, corresponding to those thirteen locks, thirteen corrections of the beard came out here; for because of the great concealment, it could not be revealed in the organ itself, but only in the beard, in the secret of hairs, and it is revealed through them through narrow apertures.

1And know, that this light of the second Rosh of AA is also drawn out and shines in this Dikna [beard], etc. And therefore, corresponding to those thirteen Nimin [strands], thirteen corrections of the Dikna came out here, since because of the great concealment they could not be revealed in the organ itself: This is as was explained above, in the adjacent item, that at the time of Gadlut [greatness/adulthood], when Radla [the unknown head] holds its light within this air, and the hairs of the Rosh became the discernment of Yodin — then the Vavs of Katnut [smallness/infancy] descend, in the discernment of new AHP of hairs that went out in the Dikna of AA. See there. Thus the Mocha of the air bestows the lights of its thirteen corrections of the hairs of the Rosh upon the thirteen corrections of the Dikna. And this will be further explained below, in the adjacent item. Also, what he says — that because of the great concealment they could not be revealed in the organ itself, but only in the Dikna, in the secret of hairs — will likewise be explained in the adjacent item.
