Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 71
ब्राह्मणा ऊचुः । यदि देव प्रसन्नस्त्वमस्माकं च सुरेश्वर । पश्चिमश्चित्रशर्मा च यथाद्यो भवता कृतः
brāhmaṇā ūcuḥ | yadi deva prasannastvamasmākaṃ ca sureśvara | paścimaścitraśarmā ca yathādyo bhavatā kṛtaḥ
Los bráhmanas dijeron: «Oh Deva, si estás complacido con nosotros, oh Señor de los dioses, haz que también nosotros seamos como el anterior, tal como por ti fue hecho Citraśarman».
Brāhmaṇas (group of dvijas in the narrative)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The brāhmaṇas speak in unison to Śiva, requesting to be made like Citraśarman; a faint vignette/secondary panel shows Citraśarman’s earlier blessing as a narrative echo.
