You have evidence, o king of the gods, of the fact that the universe has originated from the union of the sexes. The universe, you kuow, is the sum of what has qualities and what has not them and has for its immcdiate cause the seeds of Brahman and others. Brahman and Indra and Hutasha and Vishnu and all the other gods, along with the Daityas and the Asuras, having the fruition of a thousand desires, always say that there is none who is higher than Ma.ladeva.
प्रत्यक्षं ननु ते सुरेश विदितं संयोगलिङ्गोद्धम्। त्रैलोक्यं सविकारनिर्गुणगणं ब्रह्मादिरेतोद्भवम्। यद्ब्रह्मेन्द्रहुताशविष्णुसहिता देवाश्च दैत्येश्वरा। नान्यत् कामसहस्रकल्पितधियः शंसन्ति ईशात् परम्।।
