यथा न जायते पुत्रः पितरं मातरं विना ॥ तथा भवं भवानीं च विना नैतच्चराचरम् ॥ स्त्रीपुंसप्रभवं विश्वं स्त्रीपुंसात्मकमेव च ॥ ३७ ॥

Just as no boy is born without parents, so also the universe of mobile and immobile beings does not originate without Śiva and Śivā. The universe has both a male and a female source, hence it is in the nature of male and female.
