Sanskrit Text

सृजत्यनन्तकर्माणं महान्तं भूतमग्रजम् मूर्तिमन्तममूर्तात्मा विश्वं शंभुः स्वयंभुवः अणिमा लघिमा प्राप्तिरीशानं ज्योतिरव्ययम्

Brahman's night also, O king, is of the same measure. When Brahman himself is destroyed, Shambhu of formless soul and to whom the Yoga attributes of lightness, heaviness, etc., naturally stick, awakes, and once more creates that First of all creatures, possessed of huge proportions, of infinite deeds, endued with form, and at one with the universe. That Shambhu is otherwise called Ishana. He is pure Effulgence, and is above all decay, having his hands and feet stretching on all sides with eyes and head and mouth cverywhere, and with ears also in every place. That Being exists, possessing the entire universe.
