What you see of me, ONarada, is merely an illusion of mine. I now appear to be possessed of the attributes of all created things. You are not competent to know me. I have shown to you duly my fourfold form. I am, O Narada, the doer, I am Cause, and I am Effect.
माया ह्येषा मया सृष्टा यन्मां पश्यसि नारद॥ सर्वभूतगुणैर्युक्तं नैव त्वं ज्ञातुमर्हसि। मयैतत् कथितं सम्यक् तव मूर्तिचतुष्टयम्॥
