pṛthivyādiśaktīnām atra avasthānena śaktitattve yāvat parasparśo vidyate sparśasya ca sapratighatvam iti tāvati yuktam aṇḍatvam

— of the (principles) from earth up to Śakti ; — by their abiding (their being situated) ; — in the Power-principle (śakti-tattva) ; — a further (mutual) contact ; — the having of resistance (obstruction) ; — to that extent ; — the "egg-hood" is fitting

Through the abiding here of the powers from earth onward in the Power-principle, in so far as there is mutual contact and contact has resistance, to that extent the designation "egg" (sphere) is fitting.
