| '''Svayambhū''' (devanāgarī: स्वयम्भू) also spelled ''swayambu'', is a [[Sanskrit]] word meaning "self-manifested" or "created by its own accord." [[H. P. Blavatsky]] uses it as a name for the "universal spirit."<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Secret Doctrine'' vol. I, (Wheaton, IL: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 52.</ref>

| <blockquote>Swayambu occupies every part of [[space]] which itself is boundless and [[Eternity|eternal]], hence must be space in one sense. Swayambu becomes [[Puruṣa|Purush]] when coming in contact with [[matter]].<ref>Vicente Hao Chin, Jr., ''The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett in chronological sequence'' No. LBS-Appendix II (Quezon City: Theosophical Publishing House, 1993), 509.</ref></blockquote>
