seed of all creatures [being of the form of that Unmanifest Chaitanya (consciousness) endued with Maya or illusion whence all creatures spring].  Thou art Mahattatwa.  Thou art the sprout of Jiva, (being of the form of Consciousness which springs up after Mahattatwa).  Thou art Sat or Effect.  Thou art Asat or Cause.  Thou art Manifest (being seizable by the senses).  Thou art the Father.  Thou art the Mother.  Thou art the Grandfather.  Thou art the door to Heaven (because of thy identity with Penances).  Thou art the door of the generation of all creatures (because of thy identity with desire).  Thou art the door of Emancipation (because of thy identity with the absence of Desire which alone can lead to the merging into Brahman).  Thou art those acts of righteousness which lead to the felicity of heaven.  Thou art Nirvana (or that cessation of individual or separate existence which is Emancipation).  Thou art the gladdener (who gives all kinds of joy to every creature).  Thou art that region of Truth (to which they that are foremost in righteousness attain).  Thou art superior to even that region of Truth which is attainable by the righteous.  Thou art he who is the creator of both the deities and the Asuras.  Thou art he who is the refuge of both the deities and the Asuras.  Thou art the preceptor of both the deities and the Asuras (being as thou art of the form of both Vrihaspati and Sukra).  Thou art he who is ever victorious.  Thou art he who is ever worshipped by the deities and the Asuras.  Thou art he who guides the deities and the Asuras even as the Mahamatra guides the elephant.  Thou art the refuge of all the deities and the Asuras.  Thou art he who is the chief of both the deities and the Asuras (being as thou art of the form of both India and Virochana).  Thou art he who is the leader in battle of both the deities and the Asuras (being as thou art of the form of Karttikeya and Kesi, the leaders of the celestial and the Daitya armies).  Thou art he who transcends the senses and shines by himself.  Thou art of the form of the celestial Rishis like Narada and others.  Thou art the grantor of boons unto the deities and Asuras (in the form of Brahman and Rudra).  Thou art he who rules the hearts of the deities and the Asuras.  Thou art he into whom the universe enters (when it is dissolved).  Thus art the refuge of even him who is the ruler of the hearts of both the deities and the Asuras.  Thou art he whose body is made up of all the deities.[182] Thou art he who has no Being superior to thee of whom to think.  Thou art he who is the inner soul of the deities.  Thou art he who has sprung from his own self.  Thou art of the form of immobile things.  Thou art he who covers the three worlds with three steps of his.  Thou art possessed of great learning.  Thou art stainless.  Thou art he who is freed from the quality of Rajas.  Thou art he who transcends destruction.  Thou art he in whose honour hymns should be sung.  Thou art the master of the irresistible elephant represented
