Daksha’s Sacrifice and the Origin of Kapalin Rudra (Pulastya–Narada Dialogue)
इत्यन्योन्यं पुरा ताभ्यां ब्रह्मेशाभ्यां कलिप्रिय परिवादो ऽभवत् तत्र उत्पत्तिर्भवतो ऽभवत्
ityanyonyaṃ purā tābhyāṃ brahmeśābhyāṃ kalipriya parivādo 'bhavat tatra utpattirbhavato 'bhavat
Vì thế, thuở xưa, giữa hai vị—Brahmā và Īśa (Śiva)—đã phát sinh sự chê bai lẫn nhau; và tại đó, hỡi người được Kali yêu mến, chính nguồn gốc (sự sinh ra) của ngươi đã hình thành.
