Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 30
गतां दृष्ट्वा ततो देवीमृषींश्चैव तपोधनान् । भृगुश्च परमेष्ठी स विषादमगमत्परम् । प्रसादयामास पुनः शङ्करं त्रिपुरान्तकम्
gatāṃ dṛṣṭvā tato devīmṛṣīṃścaiva tapodhanān | bhṛguśca parameṣṭhī sa viṣādamagamatparam | prasādayāmāsa punaḥ śaṅkaraṃ tripurāntakam
Voyant que la Déesse était partie, ainsi que les rishis riches d’ascèse, Bhṛgu, cet être sublime, tomba dans une profonde affliction. Puis il s’efforça de nouveau d’apaiser Śaṅkara, le destructeur de Tripura.

FAQs

No tīrtha is named in the verse; it remains within the Revā Khaṇḍa sacred-narrative context.
Propitiation of Śiva (prasādana) through tapas is implied as the practical response.
