vyaktādāyo vikurvāṇā dhātavaḥ puruṣekṣayā /
labdha-vīryāḥ sṛjanty aṇḍaṃ saṃhatāḥ prakṛter balāt //

D. Note In the beginning of creation the intelligent Prakriti presiding over the non-intelligent matter is like Hari, the inner guide from within, as present in every creature and also presides over the three gunas in three forms as Sri, Bhu and Durga and thus maintains the Universe. Thus the principles or Tattvas are thirty-four including Hari. The Purusha or Hiranyagarbha directs His attention to Sarasvati called Avyakta for the purpose of creation, i. e., employing Sarasvati as an instrument. He creates Vyakta and other Tattvas. 18. Mahattatva and other fundamentals furnished with energy through the glance of the Intelligent Being, undergo change and combine together to create the Egg of the Universe, strengthened by their source, viz., Prakriti.
