3.6.2

kāla-sañjñāṃ tadā devīṃ bibhrac-chaktim urukramaḥ /
trayoviṃśati tattvānāṃ gaṇaṃ yugapad āviśat //

1 & 2. The Rishi said:—

On seeing that those Saktis (Tattvas) of His own were thus not united and that their power of creating the world lay dormant, the Supreme ruler of great and boundless activity, possessed of the divine Sakti (Prakriti) known as Kala, simultaneously entered into the group of the twenty-three Tattvas or Principles.
