:(Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8)
<p> (Cc. Madhya 13.65, purport)</p>
<p>The Supreme Lord has various potencies, by which He can act very efficiently. To do anything expertly, He doesn't even need to contemplate. Since Lord Śiva was being harassed by the woman, it is to be understood that this was being done not by a woman but by Lord Viṣṇu Himself.</p>
