Arguna said: Later is your birth; the birth of the sun is priorHow then shall I understand that you declared (this) first? The Deity said: I have passed through many births, O Arguna! and you also. I know them all, but you, O terror of (your) foes! do not know them. Even though I am unborn and inexhaustible in (my) essence, even though I am lord of all beings, still I take up the control of my own nature, and am born by means of my delusive power.
