Translation

Pagkaraan, si Brahmā, sa anyong Sadyojāta, ay lubos na nagtuon sa yoga ng pagninilay. Sa pamamagitan ng dhyāna-yoga, nakilala niya ang Kataas-taasang lampas sa lahat; kaya siya’y yumukod at sumamba sa Banal na Panginoon, si Īśvara (Śiva)—ang Pati na humihigit sa pāśa at nag-aangat sa mga kaluluwang paśu.
