In plain words
Sarva, Śarva, Śiva, Sthāṇu, Bhūtādi, Nidhi, Avyaya, Saṃbhava, Bhāvana, Bhartā, Prabhava, Prabhu, and Īśvara. He is Sarva because he is the source and dissolution of all things, manifest and unmanifest, and because of his eternal omniscience, as sage Vyāsa declares. He is Śarva because at the time of cosmic dissolution he withdraws and dissolves all creatures. He is Śiva because he is pure, transcending the three gunas; scriptural texts such as 'That Brahma, that Śiva' establish that Hari alone is praised through these shared names. He is Sthāṇu due to his absolute steadfastness. He is Bhūtādi because he is the primal cause of all beings. He is Nidhi because all things are deposited within him during dissolution. He is Saṃbhava because he voluntarily incarnates by his own free will to establish righteousness, free from the miseries of mortal birth. He is Bhāvana because he bestows the fruits of action upon all enjoyers, a principle established in the Vedānta Sūtras.
