Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 86
ब्रह्मोवाच । ददामि सर्वकामांस्ते उत्तिष्ठ दितिनन्दन । एवमुक्तस्तदोत्थाय दैत्येंद्रस्तपसो निधिः । उवाच प्रांजलिर्वाक्यं सर्वलोकपितामहम्
brahmovāca | dadāmi sarvakāmāṃste uttiṣṭha ditinandana | evamuktastadotthāya daityeṃdrastapaso nidhiḥ | uvāca prāṃjalirvākyaṃ sarvalokapitāmaham
Brahmā said: “I grant you all boons you desire; arise, O son of Diti.” Thus addressed, the lord of the Daityas—treasure-house of austerity—stood up and, with folded hands, spoke to Pitāmaha, the Grandfather of all the worlds.
Brahmā (then Narrator for the action)
Type: kund
Scene: Brahmā, four-faced and radiant, addresses Vajrāṅga: ‘I grant all desires—arise.’ Vajrāṅga rises from austerity, hands folded, eyes lowered in reverence.
FAQs
Tapas gains divine attention, yet the true test is how one chooses to use the granted power—toward dharma or toward domination.
No named tīrtha appears; the focus is on boon-bestowal and the ethical direction of desire.
No explicit rite is prescribed; the context implies long tapas culminating in Brahmā’s boon.
