Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 66
तस्यां मूर्तौ समावेश्य कैशव्यामथ केशवः । शंभोः कार्ये कृतमना अंशांशांशेन निर्गतः
tasyāṃ mūrtau samāveśya kaiśavyāmatha keśavaḥ | śaṃbhoḥ kārye kṛtamanā aṃśāṃśāṃśena nirgataḥ
তখন কেশব সেই কৈশবী মূর্তিতে প্রবেশ করে, শম্ভুর কার্য সম্পাদনে মনোনিবেশ করে, শক্তির অংশেরও অংশেরও অংশমাত্র নিয়ে প্রকাশিত হলেন।
Skanda (contextual continuation)
Listener: Agastya
Scene: Keśava assumes/enters a Kaiśavī form, then emerges as a minute aṃśa to execute Śambhu’s task—depictable as a luminous emanation from a larger Viṣṇu form.
