v1.c6.s3.31

Then by the power of Yoga he made his body small and for protection entered the body of Śiva through the ear. When he reached the belly of Śiva, he saw the whole universe rested there confidently, and took heart. The three-eyed god, in his divine sight, saw him take shelter and without surprise he said to the sage with a smile: "Fear not, O Bhārgava, I am pleased with thy diplomacy. Having stayed within me you are my son; now come out at your pleasure. I have bestowed on you the great sovereignty and supremacy among the planets. In these three worlds, you shall ever regulate justice and injustice, rain and draught". . . . Saying so, the three-eyed (god) discharged him through the semen-passage. Thence he got the name Śukra (Semen). Then Śukra, knowing his own desire, bowed to the Lord and submitted. "Contented am I; favoured am I; who is more fortunate than I; I have thus been graced with favour by the God of the gods".
