Sage Dattatreya
The Goddess continued..
My concrete form is the eternal couple - the Supreme Lord and Energy - always in undivided union and abiding as the eternal consciousness pervading the three phenomenal states of waking, dream and sleep, and reclining on the cot, whose four legs are Brahma (creator), Vishnu (Protector), Shiva (Destroyer) and Ishwara (Disappearance) and whose surface is Sadashiva (Grace), which is contained in the mansion known as the fulfilment of purpose, enclosed by the garden of Kadamba trees, in the jewel island situated in the wide ocean of nectar surrounding the cosmos and extending beyond.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Ishwara, Sadashiva, Ganesha, Skanda, the gods of the eight quarters, their energies, other gods, celestials, celestial serpents and other superhuman beings are all manifestations of Myself. However, people do not know Me because their intellect is shrouded in ignorance. I grant boons to those who worship Me. There is none besides Me worthy of worship or capable of fulfilling all desires.
[Commentary: All deities who receive worship and all conceptions of God are My manifestations, because I am pure intelligence which cannot under any circumstances be transcended.]
The fruits of worship are put forth by Me according to the mode of worship and the nature of individual desires. I am indivisible and interminable.
