Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 6
गेहिनो हेलया जिग्युर्दस्यून्दूर्ग पतिर्यथा । न केऽपि प्रभवस्तां चाप्यनुकर्तुं गृहेश्वरीम्
gehino helayā jigyurdasyūndūrga patiryathā | na ke'pi prabhavastāṃ cāpyanukartuṃ gṛheśvarīm
Hausväter überwinden die Bedrängnisse mit Leichtigkeit, wie der Herr einer Festung die Räuber bezwingt. Doch niemand besitzt wahrhaft die Kraft, jene Herrin des Hauses (gṛheśvarī) in ihrer tragenden, erhaltenden Rolle nachzuahmen.
Daityendra/Vajrāṅga (continued reflection; implied)
Scene: A fortified city/house as a ‘durgā’; the householder as vigilant guardian; bandit-like troubles repelled; at the center, the gṛheśvarī calmly sustaining the home—symbolizing the unseen strength that cannot be imitated.
