23.4

śāntikṛc chāntamanasas tadantarnayane sthitam
māhātmyāttapasā viprāḥ paramānandakārakam //

The Blissful Brahmâ, the dispeller of all troubles of the world and who is enshrined within Viṣṇu, Śiva, and the sun Rudra and who is supersensuous and is the giver of all peace and who is enthroned in the eyes of peaceful beings; the same Brahmâ becoming pleased with the austerities of Atri was the cause of his happiness, in other words, He caused the moon to be produced from the eyes of Atri. At that time Lord Śiva with His Consort the goddess Pârvati became highly pleased to see the moon and decorated His head with It; and the power produced from the water and emitted from the eyes of Atri illumined the universe with Its lustre.—3-6.
