Varaha Purana 95.39: Adhyaya 95, Shloka 39
The Slaying of the Daitya Ruru, the Hymn to Cāmuṇḍā/Kālarātri, and the Doctrine of the Threefold Power
एवमुक्त्वा तदा देवीं स्वयं रुद्रः प्रतापवान् । दृष्ट्वा रुरुं च सबलमसुरेन्द्रं निपातितम् । स्तुतिं चकार भगवन् स्वयं देवस्त्रिलोचनः ॥
evam uktvā tadā devīṃ svayaṃ rudraḥ pratāpavān | dṛṣṭvā ruruṃ ca sabalam asurendraṃ nipātitam | stutiṃ cakāra bhagavān svayaṃ devas trilocanaḥ ||
Setelah berkata demikian kepada Sang Dewi, Rudra yang perkasa sendiri—melihat Ruru dan raja Asura yang gagah telah ditumbangkan—lalu melantunkan pujian; Dewa Trilocana (bermata tiga) sendiri menggubah sebuah himne.
