Computed: seventy-two triads times three letters = 216; gevurah (גבורה) = 3+2+6+200+5 = 216, and 216 = 6³.
Meaning

Two hundred and sixteen is the letter-count of the seventy-two-fold name and, in the same arithmetic, the value of Gevurah, the sefirah of severity that is the pillar opposite Chesed's 72. The tradition reads the pair as the name's two faces: 72 for mercy and 216 for judgement, the same name counted three times over. It is one of the few places where the letter-magic and the tree give the same answer.
