iva Pura atarudra Sahit (Book III) Chapter I The Five Forms of the Supreme Brahman Verses 39-49

9 [Nandikevara said:] The five famous forms of Mahea are thus named: na, [Tat]Purua, Aghora, Vma, and Sadyojta. [39] na form of iva is the first and the principal one. It directly occupies and presides over the individual soul, the enjoyer of Prakti. [40] Tatpurua form of iva is the second. It occupies and presides over every object of enjoyment, the support of attributes. [41] The third form of iva is Aghora that stand within, occupies and presides over the principle of intelligence with all its ramifications for the sake of Dharma. [42] The fourth form of iva is Vmadeva who presides over the ego and is engaged in many incessant activities. [43] The na form of iva is the permanent Lord of the organ of hearing, speech and the all-pervading sky (ka). [44] Intelligent and wise persons call Tatpurua as the Lord of tvk (organ of perception; skin), hand and the wind. [45] Intelligent persons call the form of Aghora, the support of the physical body, the sense of taste, of colour and of fire as well. [46] Vmadeva form of iva is remembered as the Lord of the organ of taste, of the organ of excretion, of taste itself, and of water as well. [47] They know the form of Sadyojta as the Lord of the organ of smell, of the earth and of the generative organ. [48] These forms of iva, the source of all glory shall be honoured and bowed to strenuously by those who seek glory. [49] Source: The iva Pura (Part III). Trans. and annotated by a board of scholars.
