योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-1, chapter-23, verse-24

रुद्रो भूत्वा भवत्येष महेन्द्रोऽथ पितामहः ।
शक्रो वैश्रवणश्चापि पुनरेव न किंचन ॥ २४ ॥
rudro bhūtvā bhavatyeṣa mahendro'tha pitāmahaḥ ,
śakro vaiśravaṇaścāpi punareva na kiṃcana 24
24. rudraḥ bhūtvā bhavati eṣaḥ mahendraḥ atha pitāmahaḥ
śakraḥ vaiśravaṇaḥ ca api punaḥ eva na kiṃcana
24. eṣaḥ rudraḥ bhūtvā atha mahendraḥ pitāmahaḥ ca api
śakraḥ vaiśravaṇaḥ bhavati punaḥ eva na kiṃcana
24. This (supreme being) manifests as Rudra, then as Mahendra (Indra), and then as Pitāmaha (Brahmā). He also becomes Śakra (Indra) and Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera), only to return to a state of nothingness (kiṃcana) once more.
