उपादिदेश त्वां शम्भुस्सृष्टिकार्यं तदा प्रभुः ॥ तत्पालनं च मां ब्रह्मन् सोमस्सूतिकरोऽव्ययः ॥ ५१ ॥

The lord Śiva assigned to you the work of creation. O Brahman, the imperishable Śiva, the cause of creation, entrusted me with the task of sustaining it.

Then we requested Him “O Śiva, the lord of all, be pleased to take an incarnation with all your attributes.”

Thus requested He laughed and spoke sympathetically, with his eyes raised to Heaven. Verily He is an adept in divine sports.

O Viṣṇu, a form of mine like this shall be manifested through my limbs and shall be glorified as Rudra in the world.
