Om. Thus, in the glorious Śiva Mahāpurāṇa, in the seventh (part), in the Vāyavīya Saṃhitā, in the latter section, the fifth chapter, called the Yoga of the Knowledge of the State of Being Lord of Souls. (Note) 1: 'anīśa' is a bahuvrīhi, meaning 'he for whom there is no lord'; but in comparison with (that) laboured construction, the sense is easy on the reading 'so long as the bound soul does not behold the Lord.' (Note) 2: On the reading 'yadā paśyo vīkṣate rukma...' the metrical opening is broken; hence the settled conclusion is simply that the middle-voice form is archaic (ārṣa). — Chapter 6. Upamanyu said: The bondage of Śiva is not atomic, nor is it produced, nor derived from māyā, nor derived from primordial matter, nor again is it the perceiver, nor of the nature of the ego-sense.
