ब्रह्मा उवाच । देवाḥ शम्भुं स्तुतिभिर्ज्ञानहेतोः यजध्वमुच्चैरसुराश्च सर्वे । येन रुद्रो भगवांस्तोṣमेति सर्वज्ञता तोṣमात्रस्य च स्यात् ॥ ३३.१४ ॥
brahmā uvāca | devāḥ śambhuṃ stutibhir jñāna-hetoḥ yajadhvam uccair asurāś ca sarve | yena rudro bhagavāṃs toṣam eti sarvajñatā toṣa-mātrasya ca syāt || 33.14 ||
ब्रह्मा ने कहा, हे भगवान और सारे असुर, शिव की स्तुति करो। ज्ञान के लिए बड़े-बड़े शब्द बोलके उनकी पूजा करो। इससे रुद्र खुश होगा। जब वो खुश होगा तब वो सब जान लेगा।
