Für die Götter, beginnend mit dem Viergesichtigen (catur-mukhādi-tridaśaiḥ | ins pl), unerreichbar (agamyam | acc sg n pfp), den Yogis lieb (yogi-vallabham | acc sg n), ist dieses Brahmarandhra (tad-brahma-randhram | acc sg) mit Sorgfalt (prayatnena | ins sg) sehr zu hüten (su-gopyam | acc sg n pfp), von mir (mayā | ins sg) gelehrt (uditam | acc sg n ppp).

Dieses von Śiva gelehrte Brahmarandhra ist selbst für Brahmā und die Götter unzugänglich, den Yogis aber lieb; darum soll es sorgsam verborgen gehalten werden.
