Varaha Purana 89.34: Adhyaya 89, Shloka 34
The Hierarchy of the Trimūrti and the Manifestation of the Goddess Trikalā
एवमुक्ता तदा तेन सृष्टिः सा कमलेक्षणा । तस्य ह्यङ्के लयं प्राप्ता सा देवी पद्मलोचना । तस्मादारभ्य कालात् तु ब्राह्मी सृष्टिर्व्यवर्धत ॥
evamuktā tadā tena sṛṣṭiḥ sā kamalekṣaṇā | tasya hy aṅke layaṃ prāptā sā devī padmalocanā | tasmād ārabhya kālāt tu brāhmī sṛṣṭir vyavarddhata ||
जब उसने यह कहा, तो वो सृष्टि जो कमल जैसी आँखें थी, उसकी गोद में सम गई। वो देवी भी कमल जैसी आँखें वाली थी। उस वक्त से ब्रह्मा की सृष्टि बढ़ने लगी।
