शङ्करस्त्वसृजत्तात प्रजाः स्थावरजङ्गमाः ॥ १३.२६५.५ ॥
Śiva, the maker of all, Rudra, the creator — listen to me about him. The great ascetic Prajāpati created him at the end of darkness. Dear one, it was Śaṅkara who created the immobile and mobile creatures.

इह त्रिष्वपि लोकेषु भूतानां प्रभवो हि सः ॥ १३.२६५.६ ॥

बभूवुरवशाः पार्थ विषेदुश्च सुरासुराः ॥ १३.२६५.१४ ॥

यद्यच्चापहृतं तत्र तत्तथैवान्वजीवयत् ॥ १३.२६५.२४ ॥
Through his very satisfaction that sacrifice was made whole again, and whatever had been carried off there, he brought back to life just as it was.
13.265.25
असुराणां पुराण्यासंस्त्रीणि वीर्यवतां दिवि ।
आयसं राजतं चैव सौवर्णमपि चापरम् ॥ १३.२६५.२५ ॥
The mighty asuras had three cities in heaven: one of iron, one of silver, and another of gold.
13.265.26
नाशकत्तानि मघवा भेत्तुं सर्वायुधैरपि ।
अथ सर्वेऽमरा रुद्रं जग्मुः शरणमर्दिताः ॥ १३.२६५.२६ ॥
Even with all his weapons Indra could not break them. Then all the afflicted immortals went for refuge to Rudra.

तेऽसुराः सपुरास्तत्र दग्धा रुद्रेण भारत ॥ १३.२६५.३१ ॥

सप्रजापतयः सर्वे तस्मिन्मुमुहुरीश्वरे ॥ १३.२६५.३४ ॥
The gods did not fight with that lord of the worlds; all of them, together with the Prajāpatis, were bewildered by that Lord.
13.265.35
ततो ध्यात्वा च भगवान्ब्रह्मा तममितौजसम् ।
अयं श्रेष्ठ इति ज्ञात्वा ववन्दे तमुमापतिम् ॥ १३.२६५.३५ ॥
Then the venerable Brahmā, meditating and knowing him of immeasurable might to be "the best," bowed down to that lord of Umā.
