Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 118
यत्र कामावसायित्वं माहेश्वरपदस्थिताः । सूक्ष्मात्सूक्ष्मत्वमणिमा शीघ्रत्वाल्लघिमा स्मृता
yatra kāmāvasāyitvaṃ māheśvarapadasthitāḥ | sūkṣmātsūkṣmatvamaṇimā śīghratvāllaghimā smṛtā
For those established in the Māheśvara state (the station of Śiva), there is kāmāvasāyitva—perfect accomplishment of intention. Becoming subtler than the subtlest is called aṇimā; and through swiftness is laghimā understood.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta)
Scene: A yogin merged in Śiva-consciousness; the world appears as subtle layers. The yogin becomes atom-like (aṇimā) and moves with effortless speed (laghimā); intention manifests without friction (kāmāvasāyitva).
