7.8.34_56

Engaged in yoga, the two deities, assuming their supreme forms, / the sources of the entire world, Pārvatī and the lord of the world, / full of great splendour, remained for a very long time for the sake of a son. / That cannot be described by me, nor by Brahmā, O great sage: / that great union of the goddess and the god of gods who holds the trident. / He, the supreme lord, is higher than Brahmā and those like me. / Yet it must certainly be told according to the tradition, as it occurred and as it was heard; / therefore I will tell it to you, Vyāsa, for you are my dear disciple.
