Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 3
शिव उवाच । संदेहोऽत्र न कर्तव्यो विशालाक्षि सदामले । श्रुतौ स्मृतौ पुराणेषु कालत्रयमुदीर्यते
śiva uvāca | saṃdeho'tra na kartavyo viśālākṣi sadāmale | śrutau smṛtau purāṇeṣu kālatrayamudīryate
Śiva dit : Ô toi aux grands yeux, toujours pure, qu’aucun doute ne soit nourri ici. Dans la Śruti, la Smṛti et les Purāṇa, le temps en trois modes est assurément énoncé.
Śiva
Tirtha: Kāśī–Gaṅgā (contextual)
Type: kshetra
