Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 12
एवं स्थूलं प्राणिमध्यं च शूक्ष्मं भावेभावे भावितं त्वां गृणंति । सर्वत्रस्थं त्वामतः प्राहुर्वेदास्तस्मै तुभ्यं पदम्ज इद्विधेम
evaṃ sthūlaṃ prāṇimadhyaṃ ca śūkṣmaṃ bhāvebhāve bhāvitaṃ tvāṃ gṛṇaṃti | sarvatrasthaṃ tvāmataḥ prāhurvedāstasmai tubhyaṃ padamja idvidhema
So besingen sie Dich: als das Grobe, als die in den Wesen wohnende Gegenwart und als das Feine, in jedem Erfahrungszustand betrachtet. Darum verkünden die Veden Dich als allgegenwärtig; Dir — dem vom Lotossitz Geborenen — bringen wir dieses ehrfürchtige Lobopfer dar.
Devas (closing the theological praise; includes the epithet padamja)
Scene: A contemplative stotra-scene: sages/devas hymn the all-pervading principle, visualized simultaneously as cosmic form (sthūla), as a radiant presence within hearts (antaryāmin), and as a subtle light pervading space (sūkṣma); the epithet padmaja evokes Brahmā seated on a lotus, hands folded in reverence.
