Varaha Purana 33.30: Adhyaya 33, Shloka 30
The Origin of Rudra, the Disruption of Dakṣa’s Sacrifice, and the Establishment of Paśupati
एवमुक्तस्तदा रुद्रो ब्रह्मणाऽव्यक्तजन्मना । दन्तान् नेत्रे फले प्रादाद्भगपूष्णोः क्रतोरपि । परिज्ञानं च सकलं स प्रादाच्च सुरेष्वपि ॥ ३३.३० ॥
evam uktas tadā rudro brahmaṇā’vyaktajanmanā | dantān netre phale prādād bhaga-pūṣṇoḥ krator api | parijñānaṃ ca sakalaṃ sa prādāc ca sureṣv api || 33.30 ||
Так, будучи тогда обращён к нему Брахмой — чьё рождение описывается как непроявленное (авьякта) — Рудра даровал Бхаге, Пушану и также Крату зубы, глаза и плод (пхала) обряда; и сверх того даровал богам полное распознавание и понимание.
