Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 21

Devanagari script

क्षमाधनेषु क्षितिरूपमग्र्यं शीघ्रो बलवत्सु वायुः । मनुष्यरूपं तव राजवेषो मूढेषु सर्वेश्वर पादपोऽसि

Transliteration

kṣamādhaneṣu kṣitirūpamagryaṃ śīghro balavatsu vāyuḥ | manuṣyarūpaṃ tava rājaveṣo mūḍheṣu sarveśvara pādapo'si

Translation

Ô Seigneur de tout : parmi ceux qui possèdent la patience, Tu es la forme suprême de la Terre, la stabilité même ; parmi les forts et les rapides, Tu es le Vent, la puissance de la vitesse. Quand Tu parais sous forme humaine, Tu portes l’habit royal ; et pour les égarés, ô Souverain, Tu demeures tel un arbre—silencieux et immobile—portant leur ignorance.

FAQs

The Lord pervades virtues and powers: patience becomes His earth-like steadiness, strength becomes His wind-like swiftness, and even ignorance is endured under His unmoving support.

The setting is the Revā (Narmadā) sacred region in the Revā Khaṇḍa of the Āvantya Khaṇḍa, though this verse itself is a universal hymn rather than a single-tīrtha description.

No direct rite is prescribed here; it functions as a stuti (praise) supporting devotion and contemplation.
