पुरुषत्वादिगर्भो हि गर्भवाञ्जनको यतः । पुरुषात्प्रकृतो युक्तं प्रथमं जन्म कथ्यते ९७ ।

sanskrit

Since it is the father who conceives first, the Puruṣa has the primordial conception. The unification of Puruṣa and Prakṛti is the first birth.

प्रकृतेर्व्यक्ततां यातं द्वितीयं जन्म कथ्यते । जन्म जंतुर्मृत्युजन्म पुरुषात्प्रतिपद्यते ९८ ।

sanskrit

Its manifestation in the Prakṛti is called the second birth. The creature, dead even as it is born, takes up its birth from the Puruṣa.

अन्यतो भाव्यतेऽवश्यं मायया जन्म कथ्यते । जीर्यते जन्मकालाद्यत्तस्माज्जीव इति स्मृतः ९९ ।

Certainly the birth is induced by the Māyā as an extraneous source. The word Jīva (the individual soul) means that which gets decayed even from the time of birth.

sanskrit

Another meaning of the word Jīva is that which is born enmeshed and entwined. Hence the devotee shall worship the primordial phallic image for unravelling the knots and nooses of the birth.
