Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 57
नारदस्य वचः श्रुत्वा जगाम समुनिर्हरिः । दृष्ट्वा देवस्तमीशानं गच्छन्तं दिशमुत्तराम्
nāradasya vacaḥ śrutvā jagāma samunirhariḥ | dṛṣṭvā devastamīśānaṃ gacchantaṃ diśamuttarām
Als Hari—der Weise unter den Wesen—Nāradas Worte vernommen hatte, brach er auf. Und der Deva, als er Īśāna (Śiva) nach Norden schreiten sah, folgte ihm.
Narrator (Purāṇic narration; likely Sūta-style)
Scene: Hari departs at once after hearing Nārada. In the distance, Īśāna (Śiva) is seen moving north; the Deva follows—two divine trajectories converging, suggesting an imminent meeting or coordinated action.
