Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 14
शून्यं बिंदुस्वरूपं तु ध्येयं ध्यानविवर्जितम् । अस्ति नास्तीति यं प्राहुः सुदूरे चान्तिके च यत्
śūnyaṃ biṃdusvarūpaṃ tu dhyeyaṃ dhyānavivarjitam | asti nāstīti yaṃ prāhuḥ sudūre cāntike ca yat
I bow to That which is “void” and yet of the nature of the point (bindu); to be realized, yet beyond ordinary meditation; spoken of as “is” and “is not”; and which is at once very far and very near.
Romaharṣaṇa (continuing invocation)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (topic)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages
Scene: Non-figurative sacred visualization: a dark, tranquil void (śūnya) with a single luminous point (bindu) radiating; simultaneously a distant horizon and a near heart-center glow; sages listening in awe.
