Sūta said: Such creations, effected through the agency of Pradhāna are innumerable. The kalpas together with their Brahmas and Viṣṇus are innumerable. But lord Śiva is only one. The activities of Prakṛti emerging from Pradhāna are due to His sport. The activities as characterized by the guṇas are threefold and destructible but the (uncreated) ātman has neither a beginning nor a middle nor an end.[3]
