Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 14
चिन्तयामास सुचिरं विस्मयेन समन्विता । गोपायन्ती तदाऽत्मानं दर्शनं याति नो नृणाम्
cintayāmāsa suciraṃ vismayena samanvitā | gopāyantī tadā'tmānaṃ darśanaṃ yāti no nṛṇām
Durante largo tiempo meditó, colmada de asombro; guardándose a sí misma, entonces no se mostró a la vista de la gente.

Type: kshetra
Scene: The ascetic woman in a secluded grove, pausing her outward movements; she looks inward, hands clasped, avoiding the path where villagers pass; a sense of stillness and guardedness.
