Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 44
क्षये च पुनरायांति सुकृतस्य महीतले । ब्रह्मज्ञानात्परं प्राप्य पुनर्जन्म न विद्यते
kṣaye ca punarāyāṃti sukṛtasya mahītale | brahmajñānātparaṃ prāpya punarjanma na vidyate
সেই পুণ্য ক্ষয় হ’লে তেওঁলোকে পুনৰ পৃথিৱীত আহে। কিন্তু ব্ৰহ্মজ্ঞানৰ দ্বাৰা পৰম তত্ত্ব লাভ কৰিলে পুনৰ জন্ম নাথাকে।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Two-tier contrast: a soul descending from svarga back to earth as merit wanes; beside it, a serene sage absorbed in Brahman-realization, surrounded by a quiet aura signifying apunarjanma.
