Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 10
विघ्निता विघ्नराजेन ते यास्यंति महत्तमः । तेषां गृहेषु कलहः सदा नैवोपसाम्यति
vighnitā vighnarājena te yāsyaṃti mahattamaḥ | teṣāṃ gṛheṣu kalahaḥ sadā naivopasāmyati
يا أرفعَ المقام، إنّ الذين يعوقهم فيغناراجا (سيّدُ العوائق) يمضون إلى الهلاك؛ وفي بيوتهم لا تهدأ الخصومة حقًّا، بل تبقى ملازمةً على الدوام.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Listener: Girijā (Pārvatī)
Scene: The prophecy depicts the tangible fallout of being ‘vighnita’ by Vighnarāja: downfall and unending quarrel within the home—an ethical caution embedded in divine speech.
