Varaha Purana 21.34: Adhyaya 21, Shloka 34
The Disruption of Dakṣa’s Sacrifice, the Hari–Hara Conflict, and the Establishment of Rudra’s Sacrificial Share
एवं कृत्वा स सामग्रीं देवदेवः प्रतापवान् । जगाम दक्षयज्ञाय कोपाद् रुद्रः प्रतापवान् ॥ २१.३५ ॥
evaṃ kṛtvā sa sāmagṛīṃ devadevaḥ pratāpavān | jagāma dakṣayajñāya kopād rudraḥ pratāpavān || 21.35 ||
Setelah demikian menyiapkan seluruh perlengkapan, Devadeva yang perkasa—Rudra yang menyala oleh murka—berangkat menuju yajña Dakṣa.
