Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 71
स आदिः सर्वजगतां कोस्य वेदान्वयं ततः । सर्वं जगद्यस्य रूपं दिग्वासाः कीर्त्यते ततः
sa ādiḥ sarvajagatāṃ kosya vedānvayaṃ tataḥ | sarvaṃ jagadyasya rūpaṃ digvāsāḥ kīrtyate tataḥ
সেইজনাই সকলো জগতৰ আদিঃ তেন্তে তেওঁৰ বাবে ক’ত ‘বৈদিক বংশ-সম্পৰ্ক’ থাকিব? যিহেতু সমগ্ৰ বিশ্বই তেওঁৰ ৰূপ, সেয়েহে তেওঁ ‘দিগম্বৰ’—দিশাই যাৰ বস্ত্ৰ—বুলি কীৰ্তিত।
Pārvatī (Devī)
Listener: Brāhmaṇa (bhāṣiṣṭha)
Scene: Cosmic Śiva whose body contains galaxies, rivers, mountains; the directions themselves form his garment—space as his robe—while a teacher explains to a brāhmaṇa.
