Supreme Goddess separated out of part of Lord Shiva's body

शिवस्यार्धनारिश्वरावतरवर्णनं नाम तृतीयोऽध्यायः

 

Shiva's Ardhanarishwara incarnation description Chapter 3

 

नन्दीश्वर उवाच |

 

Nandishwara said (to Sanatkumara)

 

इत्युक्त्वा परमोदारं स्वभावमधुरं वचः |

पृथक्चकार वपुषो भागाद्देवीं शिवां शिवः || 13 ||

 

Having said that (to Lord Brahma "I am very satisfied; I will give you what you wish") in his naturally sweet speech, highly generous, Lord Shiva separated out wonderful Goddess Shivaa from a part (of his body).
