केनचिन्मदशक्त्याभं केनचित्पुरुषाभिधम् ।
केनचिच्च चिदाकाशं शिव आत्मा च केनचित् ॥ १२ ॥

kenacinmadaśaktyābhaṃ kenacitpuruṣābhidham |
kenacicca cidākāśaṃ śiva ātmā ca kenacit || 12 ||

Some call it the spirit (of bodies), like that of spirituous liquors; and others (as the sankhyas), use the term purusha or embodied spirit for it. Others (as the yogis), call [it] the vacuous Intellect, while others as the saivas, give it the names of Siva and the soul.
