Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 6
द्वितीयोऽक्षस्तथा सव्ये चक्रं तन्मानसे स्थितम् । हयाश्च सप्त च्छांदांसि तेषां नामानि मे श्रृणु
dvitīyo'kṣastathā savye cakraṃ tanmānase sthitam | hayāśca sapta cchāṃdāṃsi teṣāṃ nāmāni me śrṛṇu
দ্বিতীয় অক্ষো তেনেদৰে বাওঁফালে; সেইফালে চক্র স্থাপিত। আৰু সাতটা ঘোঁৰা আছে—বৈদিক ছন্দৰ নামেৰে। মোৰ পৰা সিহঁতৰ নাম শুনা।
Nārada (continuing)
Listener: Pāṇḍava
Scene: Sūrya’s chariot with seven horses emerging as personified metres—each horse subtly marked with a manuscript/metrical motif; Skanda instructs a Pāṇḍava seated respectfully.
