Anvaya mahä-viñëuù – the first of the puruña-avatäras, who is known as MahäViñëu or Käraëodakaçäyé, which means one who lies within the Causal Ocean (käraëa-udaka); jagat-patiù – the supreme master and Supersoul of all the universes; ävirabhüt – appeared (by means of His glance); tasmin liìge – within that form; liìga-rüpé maheçvaraù – Bhagavän Çambhu, whose personal form is represented by the localized symbol of liìga (His generative capacity); çaktimän – connected with His illusory potency, who furnishes the universal ingredients; saù ayam puruñaù – is factually non-different from that same Mahä-Viñëu (who performs the function of ingredient cause through that Çambhu).

TRANSLATION The controller of all, the original agent, who has been indicated by the word maheçvara, is the potent male (puruña). For the purpose of creation, He is manifest in the form of the original male generative capacity (liìga). He who is called Mahä-Viñëu, the Lord of the cosmos, also appears in that combination of the active and receptive principles of creation by His expansion in the form of His glance.
