Varaha Purana 94.11: Adhyaya 94, Shloka 11
The Birth of Mahiṣāsura and the Goddess’s Victory as Mahīṣamardinī
एवमुक्त्वा तु सा पीत्वा तच्छुक्रं मुनिसंभवम् । प्राप्ता गर्भं मुनेर्बीजात् सुषाव च तदा सतः ॥
evam uktvā tu sā pītvā tac-chukraṃ muni-sambhavam | prāptā garbhaṃ muner bījāt suṣāva ca tadā sataḥ ||
ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞ് അവൾ മുനിയിൽ നിന്നു ഉദ്ഭവിച്ച ആ ശുക്രം പാനം ചെയ്തു. മുനിയുടെ ബീജത്തിൽ നിന്നു അവൾ ഗർഭം ധരിച്ചു; അപ്പോൾ തന്നെ ഒരു സത് (ഉത്തമ) സന്താനത്തെ പ്രസവിച്ചു.
