And mountains and oceans and trees and the rest too, O Nārada; and I emitted the other divisions of time, from the kalā up to the yuga. Then, urged on by Śaṃkara who had entered within me, I divided my own body in two and became of two forms, O sage. Śraddhā, Lakṣmī, Dhṛti, Tuṣṭi, Puṣṭi, Medhā and Kriyā, Vasu (?), Buddhi, Lajjā, Śānti, Siddhi, Kīrti — thirteen. By the offspring of these the three worlds, with their moving and unmoving (beings), were filled — the stationary and the moving alike; nothing at all was empty. And the goddess Surā is of the rājasa (quality), while that Satī is of the form of sattva; Lakṣmī is to be known as made of tamas, and Śivā, formless (or of altered form), is supreme. His full incarnation is Rudra, who is remembered as Śiva himself; the five-faced one made a delightful dwelling on Kailāsa. And even at the destruction of the cosmic egg there is indeed no destruction of it.
