TRANSLATION

Mahendra, the King of Heaven, was generated from the prowess
of the Lord, the demigods were generated from the mercy of the
Lord, Lord Siva was generated from the anger of the Lord, and
Lord Brahma from His sober intelligence. The Vedic mantras were
generated from the bodily holes of the Lord, and the great saints
and prajapatis were generated from His genitals. May that
supremely powerful Lord be pleased with us.
