Varaha Purana 71.54: Adhyaya 71, Shloka 54
Vision of the Trimūrti in Rudra, the Gautama Curse, the Manifestation of the Godāvarī, and the Niḥśvāsa-saṃhitā Account
एतस्माद्वेदमार्गाद्धि यदन्यदिह जायते । तत्क्षुद्रकर्म विज्ञेयं रौद्रं शौचविवर्जितम् ॥ ७१.५४ ॥
etasmād vedamārgāddhi yad anyad iha jāyate | tat kṣudrakarma vijñeyaṁ raudraṁ śaucavivarjitam || 71.54 ||
Daher ist alles, was hier außerhalb des vedischen Pfades entsteht, als geringes Tun zu erkennen—von gewalttätiger Art und ohne Reinheit.
