Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 69
वसन्ते मयि चेन्द्रे च भवतीषु तथा स्मरे । यदा स एव भूतात्मा तदा द्वेषादयः कथम्
vasante mayi cendre ca bhavatīṣu tathā smare | yadā sa eva bhūtātmā tadā dveṣādayaḥ katham
« Dans le Printemps, en moi, en Indra, en vous, dames célestes, et aussi en Kāma — si ce même Seigneur est l’âme intérieure des êtres, comment la haine et le reste pourraient-ils jamais surgir ? »
Celestial women (Apsarās / Amarāṅganāḥ), speaking collectively (contextual deduction)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A springtime riverside: blossoms, gentle breeze; Indra in the sky, apsarases nearby, Kāma with sugarcane bow—yet a single subtle inner radiance (Bhūtātman) shines within all, dissolving shadows of hatred.
