The Vision of Śiva7.16

7.16
नचापि केवलाद्द्रव्यात् किंचनापि प्रवर्तते । तस्मादित्थमिह ज्ञेयं शाक्तं रूपभेदवत् ॥१६॥
nacāpi kevalāddravyāt kiṃcanāpi pravartate | tasmāditthamiha jñeyaṃ śāktaṃ rūpabhedavat
— nor ; — from the bare substance alone ; — anything at all ; — proceeds ; — therefore ; — in this way ; — here ; — is to be understood ; — the (realm) of power ; — as having a difference of form (yet one)

Nor does anything at all proceed from the bare substance alone (without its power); therefore here the (realm) of power is to be understood in this way — as having (only) a difference of form (while being one with its holder).
