When 艢iva began His meditation, the Pramathas also began their meditation as well as some Ga峁嘺s, Nandin, Bh峁涐箙gi etc. Some of the Ga峁嘺s rendered service to 艢iva, the Supreme Self.

He knows the self to be free from all partialities. [...]鈥�.

[...] I am pure awareness though through ignorance I have imagined myself to have additional attributes. By continually reflecting like this, my dwelling place is in the Unimagined. For me there is neither bondage nor liberation. The illusion has lost its basis (苍颈谤腻艣谤补测腻) and ceased [na me bandho'sti mok峁 v膩 bhr膩nti岣� 艣膩n迟腻 苍颈谤腻艣谤补测腻]. Truly all this exists in me, though ultimately it does not even exist in me. [...]鈥�.
