Varaha Purana 95.52 — Adhyaya 95, Shloka 52
The Slaying of the Daitya Ruru, the Hymn to Cāmuṇḍā/Kālarātri, and the Doctrine of the Threefold Power
एवं स्तुत्वा भवो देवीं चामुण्डां परमेश्वरीम् । क्षणादन्तर्हितो देवस्ते च देवा दिवं ययुः ॥
evaṃ stutvā bhavo devīṃ cāmuṇḍāṃ parameśvarīm | kṣaṇād antarhito devas te ca devā divaṃ yayuḥ ||
یوں پرمیشوری دیوی چامُنڈا کی ستوتی کرکے بھَو (رُدر) ایک ہی لمحے میں غائب ہوگیا، اور وہ سب دیوتا سوَرگ کو چلے گئے۔
