154.8

vyaktiṃ nītvā tvaṃ vapuḥ svaṃ mahimnā tasmādaṇḍāt sābhidhānādacintyaḥ
dyāvāpṛthvyor ūrdhvakhaṇḍāvarāmyāṃ hy aṇḍādasmāttvaṃ vibhāgaṃ karoṣi //

O Inconceivable one! Thou hast manifested Thy body into the shape of an egg by Thy glory, and Thou hast again divided that egg into upper and lower portions thus creating the Heaven and Earth—8 out of Thee and their desires arise out of Thy will Thou art shrouded by endless Mâyâ and Thou art beyond all the numbers Thou art Kâla and Thou art of the form of Megha (cloud) O Bhagavan! O great Self! Thou art the cause of destruction of all the things, real and unreal, (Sat and Asat) Thou art the creator of the endless Universe! Whatever is subtle and whatever is comparatively gross and whatever again is the coveror of that gross Thou art more gross than that, and Thou appearest as eternal. Thou permeatest everything by Thy Saṅkalpa (will) and again when Thou comest out of them, then all those manifested forms, disappear Thou art of infinite forms! Thy nature is so O Thou, the shelter of Thy devotees! Be Thou our Protector and Saviour!—12-15
