Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 27
अत्र साक्षात्स्वयं देवो विष्णुर्वसति सादरः । तस्माद्वर्णयितुं शक्यो महिमा न हि मानवैः
atra sākṣātsvayaṃ devo viṣṇurvasati sādaraḥ | tasmādvarṇayituṃ śakyo mahimā na hi mānavaiḥ

Agastya (narration continues)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā
Type: kshetra
Scene: Ayodhyā’s skyline with temples and river, suffused with a subtle theophany: Viṣṇu’s presence felt as radiant light, while devotees stand in awe, acknowledging that words fail.
