Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 12
एवं स्थूलं प्राणिमध्यं च शूक्ष्मं भावेभावे भावितं त्वां गृणंति । सर्वत्रस्थं त्वामतः प्राहुर्वेदास्तस्मै तुभ्यं पदम्ज इद्विधेम
evaṃ sthūlaṃ prāṇimadhyaṃ ca śūkṣmaṃ bhāvebhāve bhāvitaṃ tvāṃ gṛṇaṃti | sarvatrasthaṃ tvāmataḥ prāhurvedāstasmai tubhyaṃ padamja idvidhema
Así te himnan: contemplándote como lo burdo, como la Presencia interior en los seres y como lo sutil, meditado en cada estado de experiencia. Por ello los Vedas proclaman que estás en todas partes; a Ti —nacido del trono de loto— ofrecemos este acto reverente de alabanza.
Devas (closing the theological praise; includes the epithet padamja)
Scene: A contemplative stotra-scene: sages/devas hymn the all-pervading principle, visualized simultaneously as cosmic form (sthūla), as a radiant presence within hearts (antaryāmin), and as a subtle light pervading space (sūkṣma); the epithet padmaja evokes Brahmā seated on a lotus, hands folded in reverence.

None is specified; the focus is philosophical praise rather than a tīrtha-māhātmya.
Hymning and contemplative meditation (gṛṇanti, bhāvitam) are implied as devotional practice.
