Translation
Essas Águas eram constituídas apenas de sabor; o Fogo, constituído apenas de forma, as envolveu. E as Águas também, ao transformarem-se, geraram apenas o princípio sutil da fragrância (gandha-mātra)—assim prosseguiu o desdobrar dos elementos sob o Senhor, Pati (Śiva), que preside a criação.
