Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 57
षड्धातुसारं तद्वीर्यं समानं परिहाय च । विनिक्षेपे कुयोनौ तु तस्येदं प्रोक्तवान्यमः
ṣaḍdhātusāraṃ tadvīryaṃ samānaṃ parihāya ca | vinikṣepe kuyonau tu tasyedaṃ proktavānyamaḥ
ষড়ধাতুৰ সাৰস্বৰূপ সেই বীৰ্য সমান শক্তিসম্পন্ন; কিন্তু যেতিয়া তাক অযোগ্য যোনিত নিক্ষেপ কৰা হয়, তেতিয়া তাৰ বিষয়ে যমে এই কথা কৈছে।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages; with cited authority of Yama)
Scene: Yama as dharma-judge holding a noose and ledger, while a symbolic stream of luminous seed is shown being misdirected into a dark, thorny ‘ku-yoni’ motif; contrast with a bright, sanctified garbhādhāna scene in the background.
