Lalitopākhyāna
Devanagari script
देवर्षयो नारदाद्या वशिष्ठाद्याश्च तापसाः / ते सर्वे सहितास्तत्र ब्रह्मणश्च कपर्दिनः / द्वयोः पञ्चमुखत्वेन भेदं न विविदुस्तदा
Transliteration
devarṣayo nāradādyā vaśiṣṭhādyāśca tāpasāḥ / te sarve sahitāstatra brahmaṇaśca kapardinaḥ / dvayoḥ pañcamukhatvena bhedaṃ na vividustadā
Translation
Devarṣis such as Nārada and others, and ascetics such as Vasiṣṭha and others—all of them assembled there with Brahmā and Kapardin (Śiva). Then, since both bore five faces, they could not discern any difference between the two.
