Linga Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 2 · Verse 18.32
Sanskrit Original
उमापतिर्विरूपाक्षो विश्वसृग्विश्ववाहनः। ब्रह्माणं विदधे यो ऽसौ पुत्रमग्रे सनातनम।।
umāpatirvirūpākṣo viśvasṛgviśvavāhanaḥ| brahmāṇaṃ vidadhe yo 'sau putramagre sanātanam||
Devas said:: The lord is odd-eyed. He is the creator of the universe, his vehicle is the universe. It is he who, at the outset, created Brahmā[12] as his eternal son and gave him perfect knowledge revealing the Ātman. Those who perceive Rudra the sole Puruṣa, oft-invoked and oft-eulogised, having the form of fire, the excellent Deva in the middle of the heart, the lord stationed in the Ātman and having the size of the tip of hair are self-possessed and courageous. Theirs is the perennial tranquillity, not of the others.
