p. 424

"The Highest Limitless Primal Lord is the lord of the Dao. Either of one body with nine heads, or transformed into nine persons, all dressed in pentachromatic jeweled capes, and wearing Nine-Virtue caps.
 

He is the son of the Supreme Taiyi; he is not a [physical] son, but the spontaneous generation of primal pneuma.
 

He resides precisely in your head, within the purple clouds below the floreate canopy. ...

p. 425

Of the township of Grand Purity, village of Void Nullity, surnamed Pearly Ignorance ..., named Radiance and with the by-name Thearchical Town ...;
 

he is a star within the Hooked Array in Grand Tenuity ... named Celestial Luminary Great Ancestor Yaopobao ..."

[Tai-yi is thus one of the "male deities who 'give birth to' (sheng) divine children by parthenogenesis." (Anne Birrel: The Classic of Mountains and Seas. p. xxiv) It is not quite the case that "Taiyi is identified with Yaopobao" (as misstated by Raz, p. 424).]
