Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 141
अचिंत्यः सर्वभूतात्मा सर्वात्मा त्वं सनातनः । एवं स सर्वभूतानां संस्तुतः परमेश्वरः
aciṃtyaḥ sarvabhūtātmā sarvātmā tvaṃ sanātanaḥ | evaṃ sa sarvabhūtānāṃ saṃstutaḥ parameśvaraḥ
Du bist unvorstellbar—der innere Ātman aller Wesen, der Ātman von allem, der Ewige. So wird jener höchste Herr von allen Wesen gepriesen.
Lomaharṣaṇa/Sūta (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: A serene cosmic vision: the deity’s presence reflected in many beings—sages, householders, animals—each with a faint inner glow; the Supreme stands calm, timeless, as a focus of universal praise.
