Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 60
पंचतन्मात्रसहितः समनोबुद्ध्यहंकृतिः । पुण्यपापमयैः पाशैर्बद्धो जीवस्त्यजे द्वपुः
paṃcatanmātrasahitaḥ samanobuddhyahaṃkṛtiḥ | puṇyapāpamayaiḥ pāśairbaddho jīvastyaje dvapuḥ
Accompagné des cinq essences subtiles, avec le mental, l’intellect et le sens du moi, le jīva—lié par des lacets faits de mérite et de faute—abandonne le corps.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa framing)
Scene: A translucent jīva, encircled by cords labeled puṇya and pāpa, emerges from a fallen body; around it hover symbols of the five tanmātras and the inner instruments (mind, intellect, ego) as subtle luminous forms.
