Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 102

Devanagari script

अन्तर्धानं गतैर्नित्यं प्रभासं तु निषेव्यते । सप्तलोकेषु ये सन्ति सिद्धाः पातालवासिनः । प्रदक्षिणं ते कुर्वंति सोमेशं कालभैरवम्

Transliteration

antardhānaṃ gatairnityaṃ prabhāsaṃ tu niṣevyate | saptalokeṣu ye santi siddhāḥ pātālavāsinaḥ | pradakṣiṇaṃ te kurvaṃti someśaṃ kālabhairavam

Translation

Prabhāsa wird unablässig von jenen aufgesucht, die in Unsichtbarkeit wandeln. Die Siddhas, die in den Unterwelten (Pātāla) durch die sieben Bereiche wohnen, vollziehen die pradakṣiṇā, die heilige Umrundung, um Someśa, den mächtigen Kālabhairava.
