Now let us come to the word ‘spandituM’. The
hara-rudra has been assigned the duty of samhAra, this is a ‘full duty’, so to
say. On the other hand, the Shiva that is the absolute Brahman has just been
‘moved’ - moved from within! This movement
is the ‘spandanaM’. The ShivaM was like a calm, ripple-less, vibration-less
peaceful lake; and in that lake, the first ripple, the first vibration, the
first movement took place in the form of
‘kAmaM’.
The agent for this was the cit-Shakti of Brahman itself. She, the

(kriyA-Shakti), but made the icchA rise
in Brahman itself and this ‘making’ was itself Her first act of creation!
