Verses on the Recognition of the Lord13.2

13.2
किं त्व् आन्तरदशोद्रेकात् सादाख्यं तत्त्वम् आदितः बहिर्भावपरत्वे तु परतः पारमेश्वरम् ॥२॥
kiṃ tv āntaradaśodrekāt sādākhyaṃ tattvam āditaḥ bahirbhāvaparatve tu parataḥ pārameśvaram
— but, moreover ; — from the predominance of the inner phase ; — the principle called Sadāśiva (the Sādākhya tattva) ; — principle, reality-level ; — at the beginning, first ; — when (the manifestation) tends toward outwardness ; — but ; — thereafter ; — the (Īśvara-)principle of the Supreme Lord

But from the predominance of the inner phase there arises first the principle called Sadāśiva; and when (manifestation) tends toward outwardness, thereafter (arises) the principle of the Supreme Lord (Īśvara).
