Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 16
सूत उवाच । एवमुक्त्वा स देवेशस्ततश्चादर्शनं गतः । सोऽपि राजा चकाराशु प्रासादं सुमनोहरम्
sūta uvāca | evamuktvā sa deveśastataścādarśanaṃ gataḥ | so'pi rājā cakārāśu prāsādaṃ sumanoharam
সূত বললেন—এভাবে বলে দেবেশ্বর তখন অদৃশ্য হয়ে গেলেন। আর রাজাও তৎক্ষণাৎ অতি মনোহর এক প্রাসাদ-মন্দির নির্মাণ করালেন।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa)
Type: kshetra
Scene: After speaking, the radiant deity disappears; the king immediately orders artisans; scaffolding rises, pillars carved, sanctum planned; the atmosphere is industrious yet sacred.
