Varaha Purana 89.35: Adhyaya 89, Shloka 35
The Hierarchy of the Trimūrti and the Manifestation of the Goddess Trikalā
ब्रह्मणो मानसाः सप्त तेषामन्ये तपोधनाः । तेषामन्ये ततस्त्वन्ये चतुर्द्धा भूतसंग्रहः । सस्थानुजङ्गमानां च सृष्टिः सर्वत्र संस्थिता ॥
brahmaṇo mānasāḥ sapta teṣām anye tapodhanāḥ | teṣām anye tatas tv anye caturddhā bhūtasaṃgrahaḥ | sasthānujāṅgamānāṃ ca sṛṣṭiḥ sarvatra saṃsthitā ||
Von Brahmā gingen sieben geistgeborene Söhne hervor; unter ihnen waren einige reich an asketischer Kraft (tapas). Aus ihnen und dann aus weiteren wurde die Gesamtheit der Wesen vierfach; und die Schöpfung des Unbeweglichen wie des Beweglichen wurde überall begründet.
