There is that one which is of the nature of existence,
intelligence and bliss, which remains at an indefinable abode,
which is without any difference, which is formless, which has
set aside all impediments (3), which is far from any account
of division, which is beyond the reach of the world in glory,
which is in a state that does not come within the purview of
the means of valid cognition (Pramāṇas) such as Perception
(Pratyakṣa) (4), which is luminous by its own lustre, which is
free from all defects, which is without a comparison, which is
omniscient, which reaches everywhere, which is peaceful,
which is omnipotent, which is without any restrictions (5),
which is called differently as Śiva, Rudra, Mahādeva, Bhava,
etc., which is without a second, which cannot be pointed out
and which is no other than the ancient-most
Paraśivabrahman. (6)

   inanimate world. The effect in the form of the world, which
   was merged in him, was to be manifested by himself. That
   was, indeed, wonderful. (7)

   The Parabrahman who is designated as Śiva, with a desire
   to create the world, assumed a form which displayed a
