Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 22

वह्निना च यथा काष्ठं तंतुना च यथा पटः । तथा त्वया जगद्व्याप्तं गुप्ता त्वं सर्वतः स्थिता

vahninā ca yathā kāṣṭhaṃ taṃtunā ca yathā paṭaḥ | tathā tvayā jagadvyāptaṃ guptā tvaṃ sarvataḥ sthitā

যেনেকৈ কাঠত অগ্নি ব্যাপ্ত আৰু বস্ত্ৰত সূতা, তেনেকৈ জগত তোমাৰ দ্বাৰা ব্যাপ্ত। অজ্ঞৰ পৰা গোপন হৈ তুমি সকলোফালে স্থিত।

Devas (collective praise to the Devī)

Tirtha: Arbuda-kṣetra (Devī-vyāpti teaching locus)

Type: kshetra

Scene: Two symbolic panels: fire latent within logs, and thread running through a woven cloth; above them, the Goddess as subtle presence permeating the cosmos, half-visible to show ‘guptā’.

FAQs

The Goddess is immanent in all things, yet subtle and ‘hidden’ to those without spiritual insight; devotion reveals her everywhere.

No single tīrtha is named; the teaching supports the Mahātmya theme that sacred presence pervades the landscape of Arbuda and beyond.

None directly; it supports contemplative worship (dhyāna/bhāvanā) of the Devī’s all-pervasion.
