All female creatures, have originaled from Uma, and hence it is they have the mark of femininity which characterises Uma; while all masculine creatures, who have originated from Shiva bear the masculine mark that marks Shiva, out. That person who holds that there is, in the three worlds with their mobile and immobile creatures, any other cause than the Supreme Lord, and that which is not marked with the mark of either Mahadeva or his wife, should be considered as very wretched and should not be numbered with the creatures of the universe.
देव्याः कारणरूपभावजनिता: सर्वा भगाङ्का स्रियो। लिंगनापि हरस्य सर्वपुरुषाः प्रत्यक्षचिह्नीकृताः। योऽन्यत्कारणमीश्वरात् प्रवदते देव्या च यन्नाङ्कितं। त्रैलोक्ये सचराचरे स तु पुमान् बाह्यो भवेद् दुर्मतिः।।
