Sanskrit Text

अह्नः क्षये ललाटाच्च सुतो देवस्य वै तथा क्रोधाविष्टस्य संजज्ञे रुद्रः संहारकारकः

English Translation

Within that lotus was born Brahman, originating from Aniruddha's grace. Towards the evening of Brahman's day, Aniruddha became filled with anger, and as a consequence of this, there originated from his forehead a son called Rudra gifted with the power of destroying everything. These two, viz., Brahman and Rudra, are the foremost of all the gods, having originated respectively from the Cheerfulness and the Anger (of Aniruddha).
