Sūta said: One shall attain Sāyujya (union) with Śiva by duly installing the omniscient, omnipresent lord in accordance with the injunctions of the Śāstras; the lord who has a single foot, four arms, three eyes and trident, the lord who is stationed after creating Viṣṇu from his left side and the four-faced Brahmā from the right side. The lord who created twenty eight crores of Rudras, and then the twenty-fifth[1] principle Puruṣa, brilliant in all the limbs, from his heart; the lord who created Prakṛti from his left; cosmic intellect from the region of the intellect, the cosmic ego from his own ego and the Tanmātras therefrom. The great lord sportingly created the sense-organs from his own sense-organs. He created the earth from the root of his foot and water from the private parts. He created fire from the umbilical region, the sun from the heart, the moon from his neck, the soul from the middle of his eyebrows and the heaven from the forehead. One shall install the image of the lord who is stationed thus after creating the entire universe inclusive of the mobile and immobile beings.
