2.6.2.9
sa juhoti | eṣa te rudra bhāgaḥ saha svasrāmbikayā taṃ juṣasva svāhetyambikā ha vai nāmāsya svasā tayāsyaiṣa saha bhāgastadyadasyaiṣa striyā saha bhāgastasmāttryambakā nāma tadyā asya prajā jātāstā rudriyātpramuñcati
He offers, with the text (Vâg. S. III, 57 a), 'This is thy share, O Rudra! graciously accept it together with thy sister Ambikâ! Svâhâ!' Ambikâ, indeed, is the name of his (Rudra's) sister; and this share belongs to him conjointly with her; and because that share belongs to him conjointly with a woman (strî), therefore (these oblations) are called Tryambakâh. Thereby, then, he delivers from Rudra's power the descendants that have been born unto him.
