Lokakalpanā / The Ordering of the Worlds
Cosmogony and Earth’s Retrieval
नामात्मपञ्चभूतानां कृतानां च प्रपञ्चताम् / दिवशब्देन पञ्चैते निर्ममे समहेश्वरः
nāmātmapañcabhūtānāṃ kṛtānāṃ ca prapañcatām / divaśabdena pañcaite nirmame samaheśvaraḥ
To unfold the expanse of name, the Self, and the five elements already made, the even-souled Maheshvara fashioned these five through the sacred utterance “diva”.
