The Ari's Text

And now the first three Sefirot of ZA and the last nine of Malchut, which never came even during the time of the kings, must be corrected, and these come in the aspect of additions. And now they come mixed and corrected with MaH and BaN in Gadlut.

1The GAR of ZA and the last nine of Malchut, which never came even at the time of the kings. The meaning is not that they did not come at all at the time of the kings; rather, the discussion is only about the discernment of the seven kings that emerged from the Einayim of AK in the secret of the look of the Einayim in the AHP, that is, at the time of the Katnut [smallness/infancy] of Nekudim. For then only HBD HGT of the vessels emerged, down to the Chazeh [chest], and of the Nukva there emerged only the discernment of her Keter alone, which is the point of the Chazeh. However, afterward, at the time of the Gadlut [greatness/adulthood] of Nekudim, they expanded down to BYA, and the ZAT each attained their GAR, and the Nukva too attained her nine Sefirot of vessels from BYA, as is written in Part 7. Rather, the intention is to the discernment of Atzilut of the ZAT, namely to what emerged above the Parsa that was corrected in Nekudim; and there GAR were lacking to ZA and the nine lower ones to the Nukva, and what they received at the time of Gadlut from BYA does not enter into the count here.
And therefore the first three of ZA and the nine lower ones of the Nukva were not corrected in the world of Atzilut in the discernment of permanence, but in the secret of additions. And the reason is that it did not emerge, even at the time of the kings, in the discernment of Atzilut of the Nukva, as explained.
