Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 65
बलात्स्वप्नदशां प्राप्ता भाविनोर्थस्य गौरवात् । आत्मविस्मरणे हेतू ततो मे द्वौ बभूवतुः
balātsvapnadaśāṃ prāptā bhāvinorthasya gauravāt | ātmavismaraṇe hetū tato me dvau babhūvatuḥ

Type: kshetra
Listener: Her friends
Scene: The heroine, overwhelmed, slips into a dream-state; the composition suggests two looming ‘causes’ leading to self-forgetfulness—perhaps two symbolic forms (desire and devotion, or fate and grace) hovering as she sleeps.
