叠谤补丑尘腻 said:鈥�

1. On hearing his own eulogy from the mouth of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, the delighted 艢颈惫补, the store-house of kindness, revealed Himself to us along with his consort.

2-3. He had five faces and three eyes, and the crescent moon on his forehead. He wore matted hair. He was white-complexioned and had wide eyes. His body had been dusted with the ashes. He had ten arms. His neck was blue in colour. He was bedecked with all ornaments. He was very handsome with respect to every limb. Three ash-lines marked His forehead.

4. On seeing lord 艢颈惫补 accompanied by His beautiful consort, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 along with me eulogised Him again with appropriate words.

5-6. 艢颈惫补, the merciful, who was delighted breathed the Vedas into 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and conferred Perfect Knowledge on him, the secret of the supreme 膧迟尘补苍. O sage, thereafter, out of sympathy, the supreme 膧迟尘补苍 conferred these on me too.

7. After receiving the Vedas, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 was satisfied and bowing to Him with palms joined in reverence along with me, he asked the lord 艢颈惫补.

痴颈峁ａ箛耻 said:鈥�

8. 鈥淥 Lord, How are you propitiated? How shall I worship you, O lord? How shall I meditate on you? How are you impressed by any one?

9. O Great God, tell us what at Thy bidding shall we ever do? Please command us, O 艢颈惫补, do this to favour us.

10. O Great lord, be merciful to tell us all these things. O 艢颈惫补, we are your followers. Taking this into mind, you will enlighten us on these and other similar points too.

叠谤补丑尘腻 said:鈥�

11. On hearing these words, the lord 艢颈惫补 was delighted. The merciful lord then spoke lovingly.

艢颈惫补 said:鈥�

12. O foremost among gods, I am delighted by your devotion. Look upon me as a great deity. Cost off all your fears.

13. Worship my 濒颈峁単补 and do always meditate upon the form which you see just before you.

14. When I am worshipped in the phallic form I will be delighted and will bestow different benefits upon all people, all that they wish for in their minds.

15. O foremost among the deities, whenever any misery befalls you, it shall be destroyed when my 濒颈峁単补 is worshipped.

16. O strong ones, you two are born of my own 笔谤补办峁泃颈, out of my left and right sides. I am the lord of everything.

17. This 叠谤补丑尘腻, grandfather for all people, is born of my right side. You, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, are born of my left side. I am the supreme 膧迟尘补苍.

18-19. Delighted I shall confer on you boons and whatever you desire. May your devotion to me be steady. With my permission you can make my form in clay and perform adoration. After rendering different kinds of service like this sensibly you shall attain happiness.

20. O 叠谤补丑尘腻, strictly adhering to my direction you carry on the work of creation. Dear child, dear Hari, you shall sustain the mobile and the immobile beings.

叠谤补丑尘腻 said:鈥�

21. Saying thus, the lord presented to us the auspicious mode of His worship, adored duly by means of which 艢颈惫补 confers many benefits.

22. On hearing the words of 艢颈惫补 along with me, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 bowed to 艢颈惫补 with palms joined in reverence and said.

痴颈峁ａ箛耻 said:鈥�

23. 鈥淚f you are pleased, if a boon is to be given to us, may our devotion to you be perpetual and unstraying.

24. Although you are 狈颈谤驳耻峁嘺, be pleased to incarnate in the course of your divine sports and help us. Dear lord, you are great lord, the supreme.

25. O lord of lords, even our dispute has turned out to be auspicious, now that you have come here to suppress the same鈥�.

叠谤补丑尘腻 said:鈥�

26. On hearing these words 艢颈惫补 told 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 who stood there with the head bent down and with palms joined in reverence.

艢颈惫补 said:鈥�

27. Although 狈颈谤驳耻峁嘺, I am Sagu峁嘺 too and the author of dissolution, maintenance and creation. I am the supreme Brahman without decay and change. Existence, Knowledge and Bliss are my characteristics.

28. Truly, I am 狈颈峁�k补濒补 (狈颈谤驳耻峁嘺) for ever, O Hari. For the activities of creation, maintenance and dissolution I manifest myself in the three forms of 叠谤补丑尘腻, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and Hara, O 痴颈峁ａ箛耻.

29. O 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, since you, along with 叠谤补丑尘腻, have eulogised me and prayed for my incarnation, I shall make that request true, favourably disposed towards my devotees that I am.

30. A great form similar to this, O 叠谤补丑尘腻, shall become manifest in the world through your body. He will be called Rudra.

3 I. His capacity will never he less, since He will be my own part and parcel. He is I. I am he. In the modes of worship too there in no difference.

32. As heat etc. in water and other things due to the contact of fire is not permanent in water etc., similarly my 狈颈谤驳耻峁嘺 aspect is not affected by the external contact.

33. This form of mine as 艢颈惫补 is that of Rudra too. O great sage, no one shall make any difference in it.

34. The same form appears split into two in the universe. Hence 艢颈惫补 and Rudra shall not be considered different.

35. A piece of gold turned into an ornament does not cease to be gold. There may be difference in name but not in the material content.

36. Just as the difference of clay and the various objects made of it is not a material one, so also in this case.

The presence of the material cause in the effect can be cited as an example.

37. This shall be known by all scholars and Gods of unsullied knowledge. If you realise this, you will not be seeing the cause of difference.

38-39. I think that we all should see the from of 艢颈惫补 as the basic material. Myself, you, 叠谤补丑尘腻 and Rudra who will be manifesting himself are of the same form. There is no difference. If there had been difference that would have been bondage. Yet the eternal 艢颈惫补-form is mine alone.

40. That pure form is spoken of as the main root, the Truth, the Knowledge, the Endless. Realising this too, it must be meditated upon in the true manner in your mind.

41. O 叠谤补丑尘腻, another secret which I am going to unfold to you may be listened to. You two are born of 笔谤补办峁泃颈 but not this one (Rudra).

42-43. My command is carried to that place through 叠谤补丑尘腻鈥檚 eyebrows. I am therefore spoken of as 罢腻尘补蝉补 and 笔谤腻办峁泃补, Hara in respect to the 骋耻峁嘺蝉 alone and shall be known as 痴补颈办腻谤颈办补 too which is actually the 础丑补峁僰腻谤补 (the Ego). That is called 罢腻尘补蝉补 only in name and not in reality.

44. For this reason, O 叠谤补丑尘腻, this shall be carried out by you. O 叠谤补丑尘腻, you shall be the creator and Hari the protector.

45. My would-be part shall be the cause of dissolution. This goddess Um膩, 笔补谤补尘别艣惫补谤墨 is the 笔谤补办峁泃颈.

46. Her 艢补办迟颈, the goddess of speech, shall resort to 叠谤补丑尘腻. Another 艢补办迟颈 also will be arising out of the 笔谤补办峁泃颈.

47. That 艢补办迟颈 will resort to 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 in the form of 尝补办峁�m墨. Another 艢补办迟颈 碍腻濒墨 will surely share my part.

48. She will be born in the form of Brilliance for effective work. Thus I have told you of the great auspicious 艢补办迟颈s of the Goddess.

49. Their activities are respectively creation, maintenance and dissolution. O foremost among Gods, they are the parts of 笔谤补办峁泃颈, my beloved.

50-53. O 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, you shall carry on your activities with the co-operation of 尝补办峁�m墨. O 叠谤补丑尘腻, with the cooperation of the goddess of speech, the part of 笔谤补办峁泃颈, you shall carry on joyfully the activity of creation, according to my direction. I shall have the co-operation of 碍腻濒墨, the part of my beloved, the greatest of the great and shall carry out the excellent activity of dissolution in the form of Rudra. You shall be happy after the creation of the world consisting of the four 痴补谤峁嘺厂 and their ancillaries鈥攖he four 膧艣谤补尘补蝉 (stages of life) and various sorts of other incidental activities. You shall contribute to the welfare of the world making use of your knowledge and perfect wisdom.

54-55. O 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, be the bestower of salvation too at my bidding. The benefit accruing from your vision will be the same as that from mine. This boon is given to you now. It is the truth, certainly the truth. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 is in my heart and I am in 痴颈峁ａ箛耻鈥檚 heart.

56. Those who make any distinction between the two do not know my mind. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 is born of my left limb. 叠谤补丑尘腻 is born of my right limb.

57. Rudra who causes great dissolution and who is the soul of the universe is born of the heart. I manifest in the three forms, O 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, known 叠谤补丑尘腻, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and Bhava.

58. am the author of creation, protection and dissolution by the attributes Rajas etc. But I am different from these 骋耻峁嘺蝉 and directly beyond 笔谤补办峁泃颈 and 笔耻谤耻峁�a.

59. I am the supreme Brahman, the eternal, the endless, the perfect and the unsullied. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 has Tamas within but Sattva outside. He is the protector of the three worlds.

60. Hara who causes dissolution of three worlds has Sattva within but Tamas outside.

61. 叠谤补丑尘腻 who creates the three worlds has Rajas both within and without. This is the position of the 骋耻峁嘺蝉 in the three deities. 艢颈惫补 is spoken of as different from the 骋耻峁嘺蝉.

62. O 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, guard lovingly this 笔颈迟腻尘补丑补 who is the cause of creation. At my bidding, you will be worthy of respect in the three worlds.

63. Rudra shall be worshipped by you and 叠谤补丑尘腻. The author of dissolution of the three worlds is the complete incarnation of 艢颈惫补.

64. In the Kalpa called 笔腻诲尘补, 笔颈迟腻尘补丑补 will be born as your son. Then you will see me. The lotus-born 叠谤补丑尘腻 shall also see me.

65. After saying this and conferring unequalled mercy, the great lord Hara again spoke lovingly to 痴颈峁ａ箛耻.
