Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
निग्राह्याः सर्वलोकेषु प्रबुद्धैः श्रूयते श्रुतौ । पुत्रेणापि पिता शास्यः शिष्येणापि गुरुः स्वयम्
nigrāhyāḥ sarvalokeṣu prabuddhaiḥ śrūyate śrutau | putreṇāpi pitā śāsyaḥ śiṣyeṇāpi guruḥ svayam
Die Erwachten verkünden—so wird es in der Śruti vernommen—dass Übeltäter in allen Welten zu zügeln sind. Selbst ein Vater kann vom Sohn zurechtgewiesen werden, und selbst ein Lehrer von seinem eigenen Schüler.
Śiva (deduced from the continuing admonitory discourse in the adhyāya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A young disciple stands with folded hands yet steady gaze, correcting an elder teacher who has stepped toward an improper act; nearby, a father listens as his son points to a śāstra leaf; the setting is a tīrtha rest-house with pilgrims observing quietly.
FAQs

None; the prescription is social-ethical: restraining wrongdoing (nigrāha) according to śāstra.
