Geography ofJambudvipa1 - Verse 38-39

O excellent Brahmanas, then all _the_ deities were born. The noble Purusottama was born with his Atman purified by merits earned through many Kalpas previously. Then there was born Mahadeva, the great Yogin, the great lord who is elderly to the universe which he pervades, and who is infinite and formless 40 He has no form evolved out of Prakrti, that is to say no form of flesh, fat or bone; with his Yogic power and lordly nature, he pervades the universe. .
