Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 54
इत्युक्त्वा विससर्जैनं परिष्वज्य महेश्वरः । ब्रह्मविष्णुमुखांश्चैव भक्त्या तैरभिनंदितः
ityuktvā visasarjainaṃ pariṣvajya maheśvaraḥ | brahmaviṣṇumukhāṃścaiva bhaktyā tairabhinaṃditaḥ
Ayant ainsi parlé, Maheśvara l’étreignit puis le congédia. Et Brahmā, Viṣṇu et les autres l’honorèrent avec dévotion.
Nārada (narration)
Scene: Śiva embraces Skanda and dismisses him; Brahmā and Viṣṇu with other devas offer devotional salutations, forming a semicircle of reverence; the moment is tender yet ceremonially grand.
