This time when I am born and consecrated I shall strive for welfare by means of this body so that I may not have to stay in another womb in future.

So thinks the child in the womb “As soon as I am released from this womb I shall seek Śiva’s perfect knowledge that repels all worldly existence.”

Troubled and tormented by the distress in the womb as a result of his past actions the individual soul stays there pondering over the means of liberation.
