Lord Śiva is Śaktimān possessing the three Śaktis of knowledge, activity and wish. He pervades the universe for ever and stays.

इदमित्थमिदं नेत्थं भवेदित्येवमात्मिका ॥ इच्छाशक्तिर्महेशस्य नित्या कार्यनियामिका ॥ ३२ ॥

“This shall be this way.” “This shall not be this way.” It is in this form that the wish of the lord permanently restrains activities.

Śakti of knowledge is in the form of Buddhi and it determines its effect, instrument, cause and purpose factually.

Śakti of activity in the form of conception formulates and evolves the effect—universe, in the manner wished for and in the manner determined.

When the threefold Śaktis are risen, the Śakti of parturient traits urged by the Paramā Śakti gives birth to the universe.
