भ्रमति प्रकृतिस्तावत्संसारे भ्रमरूपिणी ।
स्पन्दमात्रात्मिका सेच्छा चिच्छक्तिः पारमेश्वरी ॥ १६ ॥

bhramati prakṛtistāvatsaṃsāre bhramarūpiṇī |
spandamātrātmikā secchā cicchaktiḥ pārameśvarī || 16 ||

The great Goddess is the energy of the Intellect and its will also, and is ever active as force put in motion; she abides in the world in the manner of its nature, and roves all about in the manner of the great delusion.
