प्रधानस्याऽप्रधानस्य भागाभागस्य रूपिणः ॥ ज्योतिर्मयस्य भागास्ते वयं देवाः प्रभोस्त्रयः ॥७१॥

O lord, of thee, the manifest and unmanifest, divisible and indivisible, possessed of form or of formless brilliance, we three are the parts.

english translation

कस्त्वं कोहं च को ब्रह्मा तवैव परमात्मनः ॥ अंशत्रयमिदं भिन्नं सृष्टिस्थित्यंतकारणम् ॥७२॥

Who are you? Who am I? Who is Brahmā? Your own three parts—you being the supreme soul. They are different only as the cause of creation, sustenance and dissolution.

english translation

चिंतयस्वात्मनात्मानं स्वलीलाधृतविग्रहः ॥ एकस्त्वं ब्रह्म सगुणो ह्यंशभूता वयं त्रयः ॥ ७३ ॥

You shall think of yourself through your own self. O divine one, taking up a physical body by your own sports, you are the sole Brahman, while we three in attributive forms are your very parts.

english translation

शिरोग्रीवादिभेदेन यथैकस्यैव वर्ष्मणः ॥ अंगानि ते तथेशस्य तस्य भगत्रयं हर ॥ ७४ ॥

O Śiva, just as the selfsame body has the parts of head, neck, etc. so also we are the three parts of Śiva.

english translation

यज्ज्योतिरभ्रं स्वपुरं पुराणं कूटस्थमव्यक्तमनंतरूपम् ॥ नित्यं च दीर्घादिविशेषणाद्यैर्हीनं शिवस्त्वं तत एव सर्वम् ॥७५॥

O Śiva, you are the supreme brilliance, the firmament, having your own abode. You are the primordial Being, the immovable, the unmanifest, of endless forms, the eternal and devoid of attributes—length etc. From this form alone everything has emanated.
