Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 40
स्थास्यंति चेच्छरीरे मे किं न लब्धं मया ततः । इदं कलेवरं मे हि समारूढं त्रिभिः सुरैः
sthāsyaṃti ceccharīre me kiṃ na labdhaṃ mayā tataḥ | idaṃ kalevaraṃ me hi samārūḍhaṃ tribhiḥ suraiḥ
Wenn ihr in meinem eigenen Leib verweilen wollt, was bliebe mir dann unerlangt? Denn dieser mein Körper ist wahrlich bestiegen—bewohnt—von den drei Göttern.

Scene: Lohāsura gestures to his own body as if it were a throne; within/around him appear subtle forms of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva ‘mounted’ upon his frame—like three radiant presences seated on a single chariot-body.
