The Brahma Gita is contained in chapter 35, slokas 96 & 97 of Chapter 37, and Chapter 38 of Brahmapurana (Part I).
Brahma said:
When the marital ceremony of Lord Siva of unmeasured splendour was performed, Indra and other deities were highly pleased. They eulogized the Lord in glorious words and
paid obeisance in reverence, in the following way.
The deities said:
Obeisance to the Lord whose symbol is the mountain!
Obeisance to the Lord who is the wind in velocity!
Obeisance to the Lord, the destroyer of pain and the bestower of splendid riches!
Obeisance to the Lord who has the blue tuft!
Obeisance to the Lord, the lord of Uma!
Obeisance to the Lord in the form of the wind!
Obeisance to the Lord of one hundred forms!
(The Veda declares emphatically that there is only one Rudra. At the same time, it declares of numerous Rudras on earth. In other words, the Supreme Sprit is One; Its
manifestations are innumerable.)
Obeisance to the Deity of terrible form, deformed eyes, one thousand eyes and one thousand feet!
(The primeval Being – Purusa is referred to as the thousand-eyed and the thousand-footed.)
Obeisance to the Lord in the form of deities!
Obeisance to the Lord, the ancillary of the Veda!
Obeisance to the Deity who stunned the arms of Indra!
(Indra lifted up his arm to strike Siva in the form of an infant lying in the lap of Parvathi. But his right hand remained stunned, and he could not hurl his thunderbolt.)
Obeisance to the germinating sprout of the Veda!
Obeisance to the Overlord of mobile and immobile beings! Obeisance to the One who suppresses sinners!
Obeisance to the Deity whose symbol is a water-reservoir! Obeisance to the One who annihilates the yugas!
Obeisance to the Deity who has skulls for garlands!
Obeisance to the Deity who wears skulls for the sacred thread! Obeisance to the Deity with a skull in his hand!
Obeisance to the Deity holding a staff!
Obeisance to the Deity holding the iron-club!
Obeisance to the Lord of the three worlds!
Obeisance to the Deity interested in the world of mortals!
Obeisance to the Deity with the iron club in the hand!
Obeisance to the Lord who dispels the agony of those who bow down to him!
Obeisance to the Destroyer of the head of sacrifice!
Obeisance to the Lord who removed Krisna’s tresses!
Obeisance to Him who plucked the eyes of Bhaga!
(Bhaga is one of the twelve Aadityas. According to mythology, the deities once assembled and decided upon the share of sacrifices due to each one of them. While so
doing, they left out Rudra. Enraged at this neglect, Rudra made a bow and fought against the deities. During the fight, He extracted the eyes of Bhaga and the teeth of
Pusan. Ultimately, the deities satisfied Rudra. Pleased with them, He returned the eyes and the teeth to Bhaga and Pusan respectively.)
Obeisance to the Deity who removed the teeth of Pusan!
(Pusan is one of the twelve Aadityas born to Kasyapa and Aditi. It is stated in Sauptika parva of
deities in a sacrifice which Siva attended un-invited. In this fight against Siva, Pusan lost his teeth.)
Obeisance to the Wielder of Pinaka, trident, sword, dagger and iron-club!
(Pinaka is the name of the bow of Siva.)
Obeisance to the Destroyer of the god of Death!
Obeisance to the Deity with the third eye!
Obeisance to the One who annihilated the god of Death!
(Siva gave a boon to Markandu that a pious son would be born to him, but would live only for sixteen years. The child was born and named Markandeya. He was educated in
the Veda and the Sastras. When the hour of his death arrived, the boy embraced the linga idol of Siva. When Yama, the god of Death, came to take him, Siva arose
furiously out of the idol and killed Yama. At the request of gods, Siva revived Yama to life, and granted Markandeya youth forever.)
Obeisance to the Deity who resides on the mountain!
(The mountain is Kailash in the Himalayas.)
Obeisance to the Deity with the necklace of gold!
Obeisance to the One wearing ear-rings!
Obeisance to the Destroyer of yogic power of demons!
Obeisance to the Yogin!
(The reference is to Sakti, the power of Siva.)
Obeisance to the preceptor!
Obeisance to the Deity with the moon and the sun for eyes! Obeisance to the Deity with an eye in the forehead!
(The two eyes of Siva represent the sun and the moon. The third eye in the forehead is the eye of wisdom. But it emits fire when it opens at the time of dissolution of the
universe, or even earlier when Siva is angry.)
Obeisance to the One taking delight in the cremation-ground!
Obeisance to the Bestower of boons in the cremation-ground!
Obeisance to the Destroyer of the rude and the impolite!
Obeisance to the Deity devoid of garments!
Obeisance to the Deity who laughs as boisterously as hundred thunderbolts!
Obeisance to the Deity who laughs as boisterously as hundred thunderbolts!
