O Lord! You alone exist, and desiring to create the universe, since there is no one else to desire, you create, maintain and destroy this universe through the guṇas, using material energy which contacts you through your glance, just as a spider creates a web independently. “You say the devotees are fortunate, but that you cannot be free of desire. Why do you not fulfil your desires by worshipping devatās who quickly fulfil those desires?” “But I do not see anyone except you in this universe.” That is stated in this verse. You alone exist. It is your desire alone to create, since there is no one else (advitīyayā), or, it is your desire to create, which becomes Brahmā’s desire. You alone permit him. You perform creation by your māyā which attained (adhi) you (atman) by contact (yoga) with your glance. Or you create the universe (adaḥ) by your material guṇas which you accepted through the influence of your spiritual energy (yoga-māyayā) under your control. The example of the spider is given to show that no one except the Lord performs the creation. I should serve you alone, even if I have material desires, since no devatās exist except you.
