Purusha and Prakriti

शिवाशिवसंवादवर्णनं नामैकोनत्रिंशोऽध्यायः

 

Parvati-Shiva dialogue description Chapter 29

 

पार्वती उवाच |

 

Parvati said (to Lord Shiva)

 

त्वमात्मा प्रकृतिश्चाहं नात्र कार्या विचारणा |

स्वतन्त्रौ भक्तवशगौ निर्गुणौ सगुणावापि || 30 ||

 

You are the (universal, supreme) soul and I am the Prakriti (Maya); there is nothing to think (about this). We are formless as well as with form, independent but under the control of devotees.
