Brahmā said: O best of the delighters of brahmins, listen attentively to what indeed I did when the Lord Viṣṇu had gone. Brahmā said: Homage, homage to you, who are the form of the world's going-forth and ceasing, the form of maintenance and creation; you are the good, eternal power of moving and unmoving beings, the deluder of all. Brahmā said: Listen, O Goddess, O Maheśānī, showing grace toward me — O all-knowing one, by your command I declare what is in my heart's wish: therefore do you, becoming Dakṣa's daughter, of divine form, O Maheśvarī, become his wife through my devotion, and bewitch the Lord, the yogin. "If I do not grant the boon, the Veda's rule would be broken" — what am I to do, so that the mighty Maheśvara may not be angry with me? Brahmā said: Having spoken to me thus, she, Śivā, the mother of the world, while I looked on, O father, vanished then and there.
