KumaraSambhavam Canto 2 verses 9 and 10 - English Translation below
महाकवि कालिदास विरचित कुमारसंभवम् सर्ग 2 श्लोक 9 -10
O lord the world (जगत: = One that moves/changes external physical manifestations and internal perceived states) originates (योनिः) from you, you yourself do not have any origin (अयोनिः = अविद्यमानः योनिः यस्य सः) .The world ends (जगतः अन्तः) but nothing brings you to an end (निरन्तकः = निर्गतः अन्तः यस्मात् सः). You exist before creation (जगतम् आदिः) but there is nothing that precedes you (अनादि = अविद्यमान आदिर्यस्य सः). You are the lord of this world (जगताम् ईशः) and you yourself have no lords (निरिश्वरः = निर्गतः ईश्वरः यस्मात् सः)
2.10
You know (वेत्सि ) yourself by yourself. You create (सृजसि) yourself (to know one's capability) by yourself. And on attaining the purpose you dissolve your own form into yourself (प्रलियसे).
