Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 81
नैतत्प्रियं च कृष्णस्य भ्रातुर्मे क्रोधमाचरम् । भवन्तो वासुदेवस्य यत्र प्राणा बहिश्चराः
naitatpriyaṃ ca kṛṣṇasya bhrāturme krodhamācaram | bhavanto vāsudevasya yatra prāṇā bahiścarāḥ
Diese Zurschaustellung des Zorns ist meinem Bruder Kṛṣṇa nicht lieb. Dennoch habe ich den Zorn ergriffen, denn ihr alle seid gleichsam der Lebenshauch Vāsudevas, der draußen wandelt als seine lebendigen Ausstrahlungen.
Ekānaṃśā (Yogamāyā), addressing the Pāṇḍavas with Bhīma in focus
Scene: The Goddess speaks with a softened face, acknowledging Kṛṣṇa as her brother; Bhīma and the others are shown as Kṛṣṇa’s ‘life-breaths’—perhaps with a subtle visual motif of shared aura linking them to Vāsudeva.
FAQs
