stanza 6, slokas 1; 3-4

Stanza VI
1. By the power of the Mother of Mercy and Knowledge – Kwan-Yin – the “triple” of Kwan-shai-Yin, residing in Kwan-yin-Tien, Fohat, the Breath of their Progeny, the Son of the Sons, having called forth, from the lower abyss, the illusive form of Sien-Tchang and the Seven Elements:
3. Of the Seven – first one manifested, six concealed, two manifested, five concealed; three manifested, four concealed; four produced, three hidden; four and one tsan revealed, two and one half concealed; six to be manifested, one laid aside. Lastly, seven small wheel revolving; one giving birth to the other.
4. He builds them in the likeness of older wheels, placing them on the Imperishable Centres.
How does Fohat build them? He collects the fiery dust. He makes balls of fire, runs through them, and round them, infusing life thereinto, then sets them into motion; some one way, some the other way. They are cold, he makes them hot. They are dry, he makes them moist. They shine, he fans and cools them. Thus acts Fohat from one twilight to the other, during Seven Eternities.”

 
“Mr. A. Keightley:  Question 12.  “Seven small wheels – one giving birth to the other.” In view of the diagram on page 172 of Earth and Lunar chains, does this mean that globe A gives birth to globe B within our planetary Ring?

HPB planetary chains globes rounds (Ex: HPB planetary globe chains)

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  It does most decidedly. One principle goes out after another from the dying planet and generates a globe, as each principle generates another, except the physical body; for both are the production of the Lunar Kama-rupa.

 
Now that which I mean to say is, it means our planetary chain. And in Esoteric Buddhism, you will find this wave of life, as he calls it, as it passes on, and one is formed, then the other begins forming; and then one goes into obscuration, and they go one after the other.

 
They emanate, because, if you have to believe what the occult sciences teach, namely, that our Earth is a production of the Moon that is a little bit of mud – well, it is a question of preference.

 
But if you have to believe the occult doctrine, then every principle goes one after the other. There comes the first principle, that lives {leaves} when the Moon begins dying, which produce globe A; then the other can produce globe B, and so on. It goes in a round, the middle one being the Lunar Kama-rupa, that is to say, the seat of material things.

 
Mr. B. Keightley:  You see the diagram as it is drawn; you remember how it is, the two chains side by side. Then A projects its principles into A of the Earth chain, but the phrase used there in the commentary seems to suggest that instead of going that way, that A being established, then from A came the next planet on our chain B and A of its own plane.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  A produces A, B produces B, and so on.

 
Mr. B. Keightley:  The words of the Stanza seem to suggest that A produces B.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  It must have been done by some of you six or seven editors.

 
Mr. B. Keightley:  It is the words of the Stanzas, but there are no alterations made. It looks as if in English it meant each wheel of a succeeding wheel.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  Don’t be so very fine. I may give it, and then you can change it if you like.

 
Mr. B. Keightley:  It was only to find out whether anything wanted explaining.

 
Mme. Blavatsky:  No; one wheel it means, one globe giving birth to the other.

 
Mr. B. Keightley:  In two successive chains?”

 
H. P. Blavatsky
