|| shrIgaNeshAya namaH

हिन्दी अर्थ

शिवको मेरा नमस्कार है

English

The deity Brahmatman is born of the right limb of Mahesa. Visnu came out of the left. So he is termed Vidya. Nilarudra came out of the heart of Siva and is called Siva. Brahmii is the activiser of creation, Visnu the enchanter maintains sustenance. Rudra who controls both is the initiator of annihilation. The three are the causes of the universe. Siva, the source of the three, is the great cause.
