That will of his is śakti, because his will is unimpeded. At that very time, Sadāśiva is [the lord] seeing the universe suddenly appearing within himself as if already real before, through śuddhavidyā as his very self, as 'I am this'. Īśvara is that same [lord] seeing through śuddhavidyā [the universe] as distinct from himself, as 'This is I', like the shadow of one's own body in well water; therefore, in these two states there is only the experience of the bliss of liberation. When, through māyā, he sees the universe and the lord of the universe as distinct from himself, then [he is] the puruṣa. Kāla is [the principle] appearing in him as the cause of the appearance of impermanence in that very [puruṣa], even though he is eternal.
