ब्रह्मा भवं तदास्तौषीद्रथंतरमुदीरयन्
ज्येष्ठसाम्ना च देवेशं जगौ नारायण : प्रभु :
brahmā bhavaṃ tadāstauṣīdrathaṃtaramudīrayan
jyēṣṭhasāmnā ca dēvēṡaṃ jagau nārāyaṇa : prabhuh
In the Upamanyu upākhyāna of mahābhārata , it is described that when the lord appeared before upamanyu, Lord Brahma praised and pleased Shiva by singing the praises from the Rathantara Saama and Lord Nārāyana sung the praises from the Jyeshta Saama .

अमृतस्यन्दिनीं वाचं चन्दनस्पर्शशीतलां
सर्वत्रैव प्रयुञ्जानः शिवलोके महीयते - शिवधर्मोत्तरे
