Now, O wise one, please explain the excellent form of Śiva. Please narrate the divine anecdote of Śiva and Pārvatī without omitting anything.

Maheśvara is Aguṇa (free from attributes). How does He take up the Saguṇa from in the world? We do not know the true nature of Śiva, despite our great deliberation.

सृष्टेः पूर्वं कथं शंभुस्स्वरूपेणावतिष्ठते ॥ सृष्टिमध्ये स हि कथं क्रीडन्संवर्त्तते प्रभुः ॥१३॥
Before the origin of creation how does lord Śiva maintain His form? In the midst of creation how does He maintain His sport?

How does lord Maheśvara stand at the moment of dissolution? How is Śañkara who blesses the world with happiness propitiated?
