Śiva Sūtra 1.19
शक्तिसंधाने शरीरोत्पत्तिः ||1.19||
In union with Śakti (śakti-saṃdhāne | loc sg), [there is] the production of a body (śarīra-utpattiḥ | nom sg).
In union with Śakti, even embodiment becomes a free creative act.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: The body appears because awareness unites with its creative power.
The Vārttika explains: The Icchāśakti explained in 1.12 becomes creative power here.

Conjunction of the elements (bhūta-saṃdhāna | dv) [and] separation of the elements (bhūta-pṛthaktva | dv) [are] condensations of the universe (viśva-saṃghaṭṭāḥ | nom pl).
The world condenses through the conjunction and separation of its elements.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: Appearances can be joined, separated into their basic elements, and gathered again.
The Vārttika explains: The Vibhūtis are described practically: elements can be strengthened or separated, suffering calmed, and what is distant brought into immediate perception.
Śiva Sūtra 1.21
शुद्धविद्योदयाच्चक्रेशत्वसिद्धिः ||1.21||
From the arising of pure knowledge (śuddha-vidyā-udayāt | abl sg) [comes] the attainment of mastery over the circle [of powers] (cakra-īśatva-siddhiḥ | nom sg).
With the arising of pure knowledge, you gain freedom within the circle of powers.
Kṣemarāja explains in the Vimarśinī: When pure knowledge arises, the practitioner is no longer ruled by the powers of perception.
The Vārttika explains: The yogin does not aim at minor powers but at the revelation of the all-self.
