Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Sauptika Parva Chapter 16 · Verse 19
Sanskrit Original
बहुरूपाः प्रजाः सृष्टा विवृद्धाश्च स्वतेजसा। चुक्रोध भगवान् रुद्रो लिङ्गं स्वं चाप्यविध्यत॥ तत् प्रविद्धं तथा भूमौ तथैव प्रत्यतिष्ठत। तमुवाचाव्ययो ब्रह्मा वचोभिः शमयन्निव॥ किं कृतं सलिले शर्व चिरकालस्थितेन ते। किमर्थं चेदमुत्पाद्य लिङ्गं भूमौ प्रवेशितम्॥
He saw that various kinds of creatures had been created and that they had multiplied themselves. Seeing it, Rudra became angry and made his generative organ disappear in the bowels of the Earth. Then soothing him by soft words, Brahman said to him-O Sarva, what were you doing so long within the water? Why have you made your generative organ disappear in the bowels of the Earth?
