You might say that we have said above that there must be a distance of only three Sefirot between the vessels and its light. Thus, how did the vessel of Daat descend to Malchut of Beria? The answer is that certainly, where it is possible, it is possible. In the beginning, one enjoyed and the other was not deficient, since initially, the vessel enjoyed its light since Daat was below, and the light was also not deficient, for even if it rises to its place in the Daat of Atzilut, it has no vessel there. Hence, it wished to shine in its vessel, and since it descended, it will not rise again. Yet, when it saw that there is a vessel in its place, it is close to its own pleasure and benefit more than to benefit its vessel. This is because now when it rises in its place, it has a vessel where it can receive the light for itself from above, from the Emanator, and from the Keter in great proximity, and this is why it rose. This reason will suffice for the benefit of the light for itself. However, to the deficiency of its vessel, when it descends in Malchut of Beria, it is not such a great loss, since when we say that there must not be a distance between the light and its vessel, but only of three Sefirot, it is the measure of three Sefirot of Atzilut, whose measure is great. Yet, in Beria, the measure of the entire ten Sefirot of Beria is not even as one Sefira of Atzilut. Thus, it is as if she stands at the Rosh of Beria because all ten Sefirot of Beria are regarded as one Sefira.
