Adhyaya 84 — The Gods’ Hymn after the Slaying of Mahishasura and the Goddess’ Boon
हेतुः समस्तजगतां त्रिगुणापि दोषैर् न ज्ञायसे हरिहरादिभिरप्यपारा । सर्वाश्रयाखिलमिदं जगदंशभूतम् अव्याकृता हि परमा प्रकृतिस्त्वमाद्या ॥
hetuḥ samastajagatāṃ triguṇāpi doṣair na jñāyase hariharādibhirapyapārā / sarvāśrayākhilamidaṃ jagadaṃśabhūtam avyākṛtā hi paramā prakṛtistvamādyā
您是一切世界之因。虽以三种德性（Guṇa）为相，却不为过失所染；即使是毗湿奴（Hari）、湿婆（Hara）及诸天，也不能测度您的深奥。您是一切众生的归依；此整个世界不过是您之一分。您是不显（Avyakta）、至上、原初的自然本体——本原自性（Prakṛti）。
