Five-faced, three-eyed, with the moon on his brow, wearing matted locks, of fair complexion, wide-eyed, his body dusted with ash. — "All this, great king, O Lord, having shown grace to us two, is to be told, and other (matters) too, knowing us two to be your own followers, O Śiva." — "O Brahmā, do you carry out creation, for you are the executor of my command. And you, child, child Hari, protect thus what moves and does not move. This supreme form of mine, O Brahmā, of such a kind, arisen from your body, will become manifest in the world and will be proclaimed by the name Rudra. It is called the root-source, and it is eternal (or: called 'sat'), truth, knowledge, endless. Knowing (it) thus, it is always to be meditated on with the mind, and truly. And you, resorting to Lakṣmī, are fit to do your work here; and you, O Brahmā, having obtained the goddess of speech, who is a portion of Prakṛti. Hari, whose inner nature is sattva, who is outside tamas, is the destroyer of the three worlds (at dissolution)."
