Skanda Upanishad 9: Verse 9
यथा शिवमयो विष्णुरेवं विष्णुमयः शिवः । यथान्तरं न पश्यामि तथा मे स्वस्तिरायुषि ॥९॥
यथा । शिव-मयः । विष्णुः । एवम् । विष्णु-मयः । शिवः । यथा । अन्तरम् । न । पश्यामि । तथा । मे । स्वस्तिः । आयुषि ।
yathā śivamayo viṣṇur evaṁ viṣṇumayaḥ śivaḥ | yathāntaraṁ na paśyāmi tathā me svastir āyuṣi ||9||
Wie Viṣṇu von Śiva durchdrungen ist, so ist auch Śiva von Viṣṇu durchdrungen. Da ich keinen Unterschied zwischen ihnen sehe, möge mir Wohlergehen in der Spanne meines Lebens zuteilwerden.
Just as Viṣṇu is pervaded by Śiva, so Śiva is pervaded by Viṣṇu. Since I do not see any difference (between them), so may there be well-being for me in (my) lifespan.
