- तिरस्कुर्वन्नेतत्स्वमपि वपुरीशस्तिरयति ।
- Isha veils even His own form, concealing this
- सदापूर्वः सर्वं तदिदमनुगृह्णाति च शिव-
- Shiva always grants all this, relying on Your command
- स्तवाज्ञामालम्ब्य क्षणचलितयोर्भ्रूलतिकयोः ॥२४॥
- relying on the flicker of Your moving brows
The cosmic functions of creation, preservation and dissolution move at the Goddess's glance. The one Shiva-Shakti is the source of all divine activity; the world-process is the play of awareness in its own power.
