They know me, the knower of the reality of the divinity, as the greatest. Brahmā, Indra and other gods are powerful in as much as they are my own parts.
मन्नाभिकमलाज्जातः पुरा ब्रह्मा जगत्करः ।। सर्वाधिकस्स्वतन्त्रश्च कर्ता हर्ताखिलेश्वरः ।। ३२।।
Brahmā, the creator of the universe who was formerly born of my umbilical lotus is greater than all, being independent, maker, remover and the lord of all.
O lord of Gaṇas, know that the entire universe of this nature, is my own; this universe including the gods, Asuras and human beings is the manifestation of my greatness.
I am Kāla, the cause of destroying the worlds. I am engaged in annihilating the worlds. O Vīrabhadra, know me to be the Death of Death. These gods are alive by my very favour.
