Or she is the mother of VirAt, etc who are the deities of many crores

of brahmAndas. VirAt is the individuality of brahmAnda, resulting from

combination of the five gross elements, consisting of sixteen

modifications.

 

SvarAt is the individuality of the unmanifested which is the cause of

these two. For it is said, "The ViRat Purusa is especially thought of

as the BrahmAnda, the SvarAt as its nature [lingasarira], the SamrAt

as both, thus Sruti declares"
