Visnu installed that Lihga of Isvara while Brahma had gone to take his bath. 9B. When Brahma returned after his bath, he asked Hari—‘‘This Lihga had been brought by me. Wherefore did you instal it ?” 9G. Visnu replied to him—“Since my devotion to Rudra is greater than yours, the Lihga has been installed by me. But it will be known after your name (i.e. Brahma Tirtha).”
