Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 9
स्कंद उवाच । किं कार्यं देव देवानां यत्त्वमाहूयसे त्वरम् । वृषं त्यक्त्वा कृपासिंधो कृपास्ति यदि मे वद
skaṃda uvāca | kiṃ kāryaṃ deva devānāṃ yattvamāhūyase tvaram | vṛṣaṃ tyaktvā kṛpāsiṃdho kṛpāsti yadi me vada
Skanda dit : Quelle affaire des devas, ô Seigneur, fait qu’on T’appelle avec tant d’urgence ? Délaissant même le taureau, ô océan de compassion—si Tu as de la grâce pour moi, dis-le-moi.
Skanda
Listener: Śiva
Scene: Skanda addresses Śiva: why are the gods summoning You so urgently? You even set aside the bull. O ocean of compassion, if You have grace, tell me.
