Neither the celestial gods nor the great sages know of my origin, for I am the source from which they all originate. One who knows me as having no beginning, as the supreme controller of the planets, is delivered from delusion and sin. Intelligence, wisdom, freedom from delusion and doubt, forgiveness, truthfulness, control of the senses, control of the mind, pleasure, pain, birth, death, fear, courage, nonviolence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame, and infamy - all these characteristics of being arise from me alone.
