The four aṇḍa are described to appear by the means of the internal abundance of Śiva's divine powers.

Also called the pure creation because at this level the divine nature of Śiva is not obscured, it manifests a state of diversity in unity.

[2] Prakṛti aṇḍa describes the world as it is perceived from the common human level of consciousness.

[2] Pṛthvī aṇḍa is the terminal point of creation – solid matter.
