The principle of matter [mahat-tattva] is the consciousness of the omnipresent Lord, as asserted by the experts, and Rudradeva is His ego. The horse, mule, camel and elephant are His nails, and wild animals and all quadrupeds are situated in the belt zone of the Lord.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
They say that mahat-tattva is his citta. Rudra is his false ego. Horses, mules, camels and elephants are his nails. All animals are his hips.
Commentary

Vijṣāna-śakti means his citta. [Note: Citta is the mahat-tattva represented in the individual.] Mahim means mahat-tattva. Antaḥ-karaṇam means false ego. Giritram means Rudra. Aśvatarī is a cross between a donkey and a female horse.
