— when that comes to its end ; — attainment of the state of Śiva ; — the limit of the stated office (of Rudra) ; — of the upholders of the cosmic egg ; — of the hundred Rudras ; — the night ; — a hundred (years) is the lifespan

Therein, when that comes to its end for Rudra, there is the attainment of the state of Śiva; this is the limit of the stated office of Rudra. That is a single day of the upholders of the cosmic egg, the hundred Rudras; their night is of equal length, and their lifespan too is a hundred (such years).
