Varaha Purana 27.8 — Adhyaya 27, Shloka 8
The Slaying of Andhaka and the Manifestation of the Eight Mother-Goddesses from Divine Afflictions
एवमुक्त्वा ययौ ब्रह्मा सदेवो भवसन्निधौ । तस्य संदर्शनाद् रुद्रः प्रत्युत्थानादिकाः क्रियाः । कृत्वाभ्युवाच देवेशो ब्रह्माणं भुवनेश्वरम् ॥ २७.८ ॥
evam uktvā yayau brahmā sadevo bhava-sannidhau | tasya saṃdarśanād rudraḥ pratyutthānādikāḥ kriyāḥ | kṛtvābhyuvāca deveśo brahmāṇaṃ bhuvaneśvaram || 27.8 ||
Setelah berkata demikian, Brahmā bersama para dewa pergi menghadap Bhava (Śiva). Melihatnya, Rudra melakukan tata cara yang lazim, bermula dengan bangkit menyambut; kemudian Tuhan para dewa berbicara kepada Brahmā, penguasa segala alam.
