Varaha Purana 89.24 — Adhyaya 89, Shloka 24
The Hierarchy of the Trimūrti and the Manifestation of the Goddess Trikalā
या सृष्टिर्ब्रह्मणो देवी श्वेतवर्णा विभावरी । सा कुमारी महाभागा विपुलाब्जदलेक्षणा । सद्यो ब्रह्माणमामन्त्र्य तत्रैवान्तरधीयत ॥
yā sṛṣṭir brahmaṇo devī śvetavarṇā vibhāvarī | sā kumārī mahābhāgā vipulābjadalekṣaṇā | sadyo brahmāṇam āmantrya tatraivāntaradhīyata ||
Dewi itu—Sṛṣṭi yang lahir daripada Brahmā—berwarna putih dan bercahaya, seorang gadis suci yang amat bertuah, bermata laksana kelopak teratai yang lebar; serta-merta ia menyapa Brahmā dan di tempat itu juga lenyap daripada pandangan.

FAQs
It preserves a Purāṇic cosmogonic trope: personified Creation (Sṛṣṭi) emerges from Brahmā, indicating how later Sanskrit narrative theology integrates abstract processes into character-driven storytelling.
No explicit toponym appears in 89.3; the verse functions as a narrative transition that precedes later place-based references (e.g., Śvetaparvata).
Implicitly, the verse foregrounds disciplined agency and purposeful movement—Creation is not static but acts decisively—setting up a broader theme where tapas (austerity) is portrayed as a means of achieving capacity and order.
