Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 10
विघ्निता विघ्नराजेन ते यास्यंति महत्तमः । तेषां गृहेषु कलहः सदा नैवोपसाम्यति
vighnitā vighnarājena te yāsyaṃti mahattamaḥ | teṣāṃ gṛheṣu kalahaḥ sadā naivopasāmyati
Ô très éminent, ceux que Vighnarāja (Seigneur des Obstacles) entrave vont à la ruine ; et dans leurs demeures, la querelle ne s’apaise jamais vraiment, mais demeure constante.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Listener: Girijā (Pārvatī)
Scene: The prophecy depicts the tangible fallout of being ‘vighnita’ by Vighnarāja: downfall and unending quarrel within the home—an ethical caution embedded in divine speech.
