Varaha Purana 2.13: Adhyaya 2, Shloka 13
Cosmogony and the Ninefold Creation: Rudra’s Origin and the Prelude to the Sāvitrī–Veda Narrative
एवमुक्त्वा तिरोभावं गतोऽहं सोऽपि चिन्तयन् । आस्ते यावज्जगद्धात्री नाध्यगच्छत किञ्चन ॥ २.१३ ॥
evam uktvā tirobhāvaṁ gato 'haṁ so 'pi cintayan | āste yāvaj jagaddhātrī nādhyagacchata kiñcana || 2.13 ||
असे बोलून मी अंतर्धान पावलो; आणि तोही चिंतनात मग्न होऊन तेथेच राहिला. जगद्धात्री (कालमर्यादा) जितका काळ होता, तितका काळ तो कोणत्याही निष्कर्षापर्यंत पोहोचला नाही।
