Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 100
देवं महाबलं भक्त्या समंतात्पर्यु पास्महे । मरीचिना सहात्रिश्च दक्षाद्याश्च मुनीश्वराः
devaṃ mahābalaṃ bhaktyā samaṃtātparyu pāsmahe | marīcinā sahātriśca dakṣādyāśca munīśvarāḥ
In Hingabe umstehen wir von allen Seiten den machtvollen Gott und dienen Ihm; und mit Marīci und Atri stehen auch die Herren der Weisen, wie Dakṣa, im Gottesdienst.
Deductive: same voice as prior verse addressing a king (rājendra context continues)
Scene: Śiva as the mighty God at center; concentric circles of sages and Prajāpatis—Marīci, Atri, Dakṣa and others—stand or move in reverent circumambulation, hands folded, with offerings and sacred fires nearby.
