śivaḥ śakti-yuktaḥ śaśvat

vaikārikas taijasaś ca
tāmasaś cety ahaṁ tridhā


SYNONYMS

śivaḥ — Lord Śiva; śakti-yuktaḥ — associated with material nature; śaśvat — eternally; tri-liṅgaḥ — in three features; guṇa-saṁvṛtaḥ — covered by the modes of nature; vaikārikaḥ — one is called vaikārika; taijasaḥ ca — another is called taijasa; tāmasaḥ ca — as well as tāmasa; iti — thus; aham — egotism; tri-dhā — three kinds.


TRANSLATION

“‘The truth about Lord Śiva is that he is always covered with three material coverings—vaikārika, taijasa and tāmasa. Because of these three modes of material nature, he always associates with the external energy and egotism itself.’


PURPORT
