3 Lord *Gaṇeśa* is invoked, as the dispeller of the *Māyīyamala* or
illusion. He is like the full moon shining on the calm milky ocean. He
creates all of a sudden, an upheaval of incessant roaring waves, foaming
white with spray, at the calm and deep speech centre, *Cidvyoma*, cave of
the heart. He is shining as the prime cause or the first impulse, “
*prathama* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/prathama#shaivism>
* spandarūpa*’, a sound, that reaches far and wide, resulting in lustrous,
sprayful, incessant speech waves. *Gaṇeśa—*Lord of *Gaṇas*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/gana#hinduism>, the fifteen channels
through which sense group flows out(fifteen- *Karmendriyas*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/karmendriya#hinduism>,(5)
*Jñānendriyas* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/jnanendriya#hinduism>,(5)
and *Tanmātrās* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/tanmatra#hinduism>*
(5)*) has his trunk in the form of the sanskrit
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sanskrit#hinduism> seed letter ‘ॐ’.
He is the result of the three fold power -Knowledge, youthful Desire and
Action practical (*Kriyā*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kriya#shaivism>*-Dṛk, Dantāsya*:,and
*Śakti* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shakti#shaivism>*-Janmā*).
4 Cult Kālīdasa named this work suitably as
*Cid-gagana- Chandrika*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/cidgaganacandrika#shaivism> (the
moonlight in the sky of consciousness) to suggest that the great *Śakti* who
coexisted in the form of light (*Prakāśa*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/prakasha#shaivism>*-**Śiva*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shiva#shaivism>), without showing off
her brilliance at the time of deluge
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/deluge#history>, is beaming out at
the time of creation. He names the chapters aptly as *Vimarśa*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vimarsha#hinduism>–reflecting aspect
of the *Prakāśa* principle called *Śiva*.
5 The full moon, emitting its coolest and pleasant rays on this whole
world, is allegorically expressed as rising from the calm milky ocean, so
as to add to the effect of fullness of its lustre. Generally, the full moon
causes high tides full of lather in the ocean with many waves like numerous
garlands. The bubbles in the tides, vying with each other to reflect the
moon, form a beautiful diamond necklace. The ocean here is mentioned as
Calm, and hence the rising of the moon in its fullness, forms the first
cause of tidal activity in the ocean.
6 The idea that the Absolute *Śiva*’s (*kāla*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kala#shaivism>) initial
vibration *Prathama
Spanda*, is in the form of a desire to start creation, i.e., *Icchā Śakti*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/icchashakti#shaivism>, is indicated
as *Kālī* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kali#hinduism> (*Vimarśa*).
She as the lustre of the full moon proceeds to create the empirical world
by the first tide, in the form of her progeny *Gaṇeśa*, with a trunk and
tusk. *Gaṇeśa* is the Controller of the organs of activity *Karmendriyas* as
well as the organs of knowledge *Jñānendriyas*. He is empowered with *Kriyā*
and *Jñāna Śaktis*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/jnanashakti#shaivism> for effecting
the cycle of creation. The trunk of *Gaṇeśa *represents the prime seed
letter *k* which paves the way for subsequent *Śabdasṛṣṭi* (creation of the
prime sound). Thus, *kālī* the *Icchā*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/iccha#hinduism>* Śakti*, in order to
fulfill (*Śiva) Kāla*’s desire, proceeds in creation by enjoining the
*Jñāna* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/jnana#shaivism> and *Kriya*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kriya#shaivism> *Śaktis*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shakti#shaivism> for
*Sthūlasṛṣṭi* (gross).
She then as *Parāvāka*, forms the *Prathama **Bīja*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/bija#hinduism> “ॐ”, a conjunct form
of “*a-u-m*” from “*a*”–*Śiva*. This forms the expansion as *Icchā*, *Kriyā*
and *Jñāna Śaktis* which in their wake create the *Vāk* in the form of the
lustrous speech waves, from the calm *Cid-vyoma* (the cave of the heart in
empirical world).
7 “*ka*” is the first *Sparśa*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/sparsha#shaivism> letter of the
*varṇamāla* { KR Kindly refer to alphabets of the Sanskrit; varnamala is
the grammatical name; varnamala is for any language and its alphabets; even
Hindi , Tamil, Telugu etc have varnamala} excluding *svaras*

creation, ascribed with aspects of *Stūla* and *Sūkṣmasṛṣṭi*, to do away
with the illusion caused as difference between the self and the Absolute
*Māyīyamala*, which posts
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/post#hinduism> the very first barrier
in the true nature of Absolute in the process of manifestation.

2 *Īśvara* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/ishvara#shaivism> is
invoked as the dispeller of *kārmaṇamala*—desire of doing good and evil.
The supreme Lord *Īśvara* or *kāla*
<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kala#shaivism>’s true nature can be
conceived or understood as the apparent entity or seeming separate
existence of three fold creation-Visible, Subtle and Invisible or the
formal, the Spiritual and the Divine creation. He is of lustrous form and
his action flows in the form of Power Discriminate, in whose wake or by
whose presence the creation exists or seen. He is invoked to light the path
of true knowledge or give the eye of true knowledge.[1]

[Kāli <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kali#hinduism> the Kinetic and
Śivakāla the Potential]
A wise man, who knows *Śivakāla* as power discriminate shining in between
creation and destruction, who is untouched by both, doing nothing, but
known through both, and *Kāli* as destroyer of creation or creator of
destruction having the three fold knowledge as her face, is liberated.
1 *Krama* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/krama#shaivism> is
*Sṛṣṭi. **Akrama* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/akrama#shaivism> is

<https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/vimarsha#hinduism> *Śakti*

*Nādasaṃhāra* and thus dissolve in *Śiva*

. *Parā* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/para#shaivism>* Prakṛtirūpa
Śakti*, is the cause of destruction in creation and of creation in
destruction. She has her face as the three fold form of knowledge and
*Śiva-**Kāla* <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/kala#shaivism> is the
power discriminate, untouched by both creation and destruction. He shines
in actionless state. His presence shines in both creation and destruction.
The *Jñāni* knows this and hence gets liberated.
