रक्तकल्पे वामदेवदर्शनं चतुर्कुमारोत्पत्तिः
ये ऽपि चान्ये द्विजश्रेष्ठा युञ्जाना वाममीश्वरम् प्रपश्यन्ति महादेवं तद्भक्तास् तत्परायणाः
ye 'pi cānye dvijaśreṣṭhā yuñjānā vāmamīśvaram prapaśyanti mahādevaṃ tadbhaktās tatparāyaṇāḥ
O best of the twice-born, others too—who, through disciplined yogic application, contemplate the Lord in His Vāma aspect, united with Śakti—behold Mahādeva directly. They are His devotees, wholly devoted to Him as their supreme refuge.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages of Naimisharanya)
