Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 13
पार्वत्युवाच । नमस्ते सर्वरूपाय नमस्ते वृषभध्वज । जटिलेश नमस्तुभ्यं नीलकण्ठ नमोस्तुते
pārvatyuvāca | namaste sarvarūpāya namaste vṛṣabhadhvaja | jaṭileśa namastubhyaṃ nīlakaṇṭha namostute
Pārvatī dit : Salut à toi, qui es de toutes formes ; salut à toi, dont l’étendard est le Taureau. Ô Seigneur aux mèches emmêlées, salut à toi ; ô Nīlakaṇṭha, hommage à toi.
Pārvatī
Listener: Mahādeva (Śiva)
Scene: Pārvatī offers a focused hymn: saluting Śiva as all-formed, bull-bannered, matted-haired, blue-throated—each epithet visually manifesting as symbolic attributes around him.
