Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 39
तस्माद्वदत यच्चित्ते युष्माकं चैव संस्थितम् । येन दत्त्वा प्रगच्छामि स्वमेव भुवनं पुनः
tasmādvadata yaccitte yuṣmākaṃ caiva saṃsthitam | yena dattvā pragacchāmi svameva bhuvanaṃ punaḥ
অতএব তোমাদের চিত্তে যা স্থির হয়েছে তা বলো; তা দান করে আমি পুনরায় আমার নিজ লোকধামে গমন করব।
Śiva
Type: kshetra
Scene: Bhagavān, poised to depart, addresses the brāhmaṇas with a gentle, inviting gesture, asking them to speak their heart’s wish; the fire remains, but danger has passed.
