Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 36
पार्वत्युवाच । तत्कथं प्राप्यते सम्यग्ज्ञानं योगिस्वरूपिणम् । नारायणममूर्तं च स्थानं तस्य वद प्रभो
pārvatyuvāca | tatkathaṃ prāpyate samyagjñānaṃ yogisvarūpiṇam | nārāyaṇamamūrtaṃ ca sthānaṃ tasya vada prabho
قالت بارفتي: «كيف يُنال على وجهٍ صحيح ذلك العلمُ الكامل، الذي طبيعته هي صورةُ اليوغي ذاتها؟ وأخبرني، يا ربّ، عن “مقام” نارايانا (Nārāyaṇa) الذي لا صورة له».
Pārvatī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Īśvara (Śiva)
Scene: Pārvatī, attentive and reverent, questions Śiva in a quiet hermitage or tīrtha setting; the formless Nārāyaṇa is suggested via a luminous void/mandala rather than a figure.
