Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 53
यस्यां तिष्ठत्यसौ योनौ तां च वेत्ति न संशयः । सर्वं स्मरति वृत्तांतं बहूनां जन्मनामपि
yasyāṃ tiṣṭhatyasau yonau tāṃ ca vetti na saṃśayaḥ | sarvaṃ smarati vṛttāṃtaṃ bahūnāṃ janmanāmapi
In whatever womb it abides, it knows that mother without doubt. It remembers the whole account—the events of many births as well.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), by section-wide deduction (Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: A luminous fetus within a lotus-womb, surrounded by faint ‘memory-visions’—small vignettes of prior lives appearing like translucent panels; the mother’s presence is known to the fetus, conveyed by a gentle connecting light.
FAQs
