etat trividhaṃ yayā dhāraṇam ātmany eva kroḍīkāreṇa anusandhānātmanā grasate sā asya bhagavatī śrīparaiva śrīmanmātṛsadbhāvakālakarṣiṇyādiśabdāntaraniruktā

— this threefold holding/sustaining ; — by embracing [into oneself] ; — of the nature of unifying reflective awareness ; — devours, withdraws ; — the Blessed Supreme [power] herself ; — designated by other terms such as Mātṛsadbhāva and Kālakarṣiṇī

And the one by which He devours this threefold holding back into the Self alone — by an embracing that is of the nature of unifying reflective awareness — is His Blessed Supreme [power] herself, designated by such other names as Mātṛsadbhāva, Kālakarṣiṇī, and the like.
