भूतानि ब्रह्मभिर्वापि मौनी बीजादिभिस्तथा। अथ प्रधानमात्रेण प्राणापानौ नियम्य च।।
bhūtāni brahmabhirvāpi maunī bījādibhistathā| atha pradhānamātreṇa prāṇāpānau niyamya ca||
Sūta said: (?) The elements shall be combined with Pradhāna by means of Brahmanirvāpi, Maunibīja, etc. Then by means of Pradhāna Mātrā (the chief of organs of action) the Prāṇa and Apāna shall be controlled. By means of the sixth[8] Bīja, the Kulākula ending with the Ātman and Praṇava shall be pierced. Brahmā, Keśava and Hara shall be assimilated in Rudra. Rudra is assimilated in Īśāna and lord Maheśvara (i.e. Īśāna) in Śiva. Then he shall meditate on the destroyer of worldly existence in the order of creation (Sṛṣṭiprakāra).
