The great God created the supreme Goddess from a part of his body

देवीशक्त्युद्भवो नाम षोडशोऽध्यायः

 

Emergence of the Goddess Shakti Chapter 16

 

वायुरुवाच |

 

Vayudeva said (to the sages)

 

इत्युक्त्वा परमोदारं स्वभावमधुरं वचः |
ससर्ज वपुषो भागाद्देवीं देववरो हरः || 6 ||

 

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, the best of the deities, created Goddess (Uma) from a part (of his) body.

 

Shloka 13 of Chapter 3 of Shatarudra Samhita is very similar.

 

इत्युक्त्वा परमोदारं स्वभावमधुरं वचः |

पृथक्चकार वपुषो भागाद्देवीं शिवां शिवः ||
