तस्मान्मंत्रैस्तपोभिर्व्रतनियमयुतैरौषधैर्योगयुक्ता धात्री रक्ता मनुष्यैर्नयविनययुतैर्धर्मविद्भिः क्रमेण ॥ भूतानामादि देवो न हि भवति चलः संयुतो वै चतुर्णां तस्मादेवं प्रवक्ष्ये विधिमनुगदितं छायिकं यच्छिवाख्यम् ॥ ३९॥

Hence the earth united with mantras, penances, Vratas, restraints, medicinal herbs and Yogic practice becomes lovable to men endowed with humility, polity and sacred virtues. The primordial lord of all living beings does not become shaken when associating with the four Yogins. I shall now explain in accordance with the injunctions the Chāyāpuruṣa (the shadowy person) who is called Siva.
