Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 61
त्रिपुरा त्वरिता नित्या सांख्या कुंडलिनी ध्रुवा । कल्याणी शोभना निरया निष्कला परमा कला
tripurā tvaritā nityā sāṃkhyā kuṃḍalinī dhruvā | kalyāṇī śobhanā nirayā niṣkalā paramā kalā
Sie ist Tripurā und Tvaritā; sie ist Nityā, Sāṃkhyā, Kuṇḍalinī und die Unerschütterliche. Sie ist Kalyāṇī und die Schöne; sie ist jenseits allen Abstiegs, teil- und makellos — wahrlich, höchste Kunst und höchste Kraft.
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsa Māhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A luminous Devī as the many-named Śakti: Tripurā enthroned within a yantric mandala, a subtle serpent-power (kuṇḍalinī) rising through lotuses, surrounded by a halo of epithets like a garland; Prabhāsa’s sea-breeze and temple lamps in the background.
