Varaha Purana 89.24 — Adhyaya 89, Shloka 24
The Hierarchy of the Trimūrti and the Manifestation of the Goddess Trikalā
या सृष्टिर्ब्रह्मणो देवी श्वेतवर्णा विभावरी । सा कुमारी महाभागा विपुलाब्जदलेक्षणा । सद्यो ब्रह्माणमामन्त्र्य तत्रैवान्तरधीयत ॥
yā sṛṣṭir brahmaṇo devī śvetavarṇā vibhāvarī | sā kumārī mahābhāgā vipulābjadalekṣaṇā | sadyo brahmāṇam āmantrya tatraivāntaradhīyata ||
Jene Göttin—Sṛṣṭi, aus Brahmā hervorgegangen—weiß an Farbe und strahlend, eine jungfräuliche, hochbegnadete Maid mit Augen wie breite Lotusblätter, redete sogleich Brahmā an und verschwand noch dort aus dem Blick.

FAQs
It preserves a Purāṇic cosmogonic trope: personified Creation (Sṛṣṭi) emerges from Brahmā, indicating how later Sanskrit narrative theology integrates abstract processes into character-driven storytelling.
No explicit toponym appears in 89.3; the verse functions as a narrative transition that precedes later place-based references (e.g., Śvetaparvata).
Implicitly, the verse foregrounds disciplined agency and purposeful movement—Creation is not static but acts decisively—setting up a broader theme where tapas (austerity) is portrayed as a means of achieving capacity and order.
