Text â„–
Before their conglomeration the primary elements in their nascent state remained originally separate entities. Nonapplication of the conglomerating process is the cause of their separate existence. Divine MahÄ-Viṣṇu, primal Godhead, through association with His own spiritual [cit] potency, moved MÄyÄ and by the application of the conglomerating principle created those different entities in their state of cooperation. And after that He Himself consorted with YoganidrÄ by way of His eternal dalliance with His spiritual [cit] potency.
