the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
You are the cause of all causes, the self-effulgent, inconceivable, impersonal Brahman, which is originally Parabrahman. You manifest various potencies in this cosmic manifestation.
Purport
This prayer is offered to the impersonal Brahman, which consists of the effulgent rays of Parabrahman. Parabrahman is the Supreme Personality of Godhead ( paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān ). When Lord Śiva is worshiped as Parabrahman, the worship is meant for Lord Viṣṇu.

Translation
You are the Supreme Brahman, difficult to comprehend, the cause of superior and inferior natures. You are Viṣṇu, the Lord of the universe, appearing with various energies.
They praise the Lord’s impersonal form as Brahman. you create the living beings with superior and inferior natures such as devatās and demons (sad-asad-bhāva-bhāvanam). They praise him as Viṣṇu: you appear with various energies.
