Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 63
तेषु जन्मसहस्रेषु यानि पुण्यानि संति ते । तेषामाधिक्यतः क्वापि जायते पुण्ययोनिषु
teṣu janmasahasreṣu yāni puṇyāni saṃti te | teṣāmādhikyataḥ kvāpi jāyate puṇyayoniṣu
Parmi ces milliers de naissances, les mérites que tu as—lorsqu’ils deviennent prépondérants—font naître quelque part dans des matrices auspiciées et vertueuses.
Śrī Guru (continuing instruction)
Listener: Rājan
Scene: The guru illustrates a ‘scale’ of karma: bright, auspicious imagery (lotus, lamp, sacred thread, temple silhouette) rises when puṇya outweighs pāpa; the disciple’s face shows relief and resolve.
