Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 45
प्रश्नेन शक्त्या च बलेन नाथ त्रिधा त्वयाहं विजिता नमस्ते । तन्मुंच मां कर्मकरी तवास्मि समादिश त्वं प्रकरोमि तच्च
praśnena śaktyā ca balena nātha tridhā tvayāhaṃ vijitā namaste | tanmuṃca māṃ karmakarī tavāsmi samādiśa tvaṃ prakaromi tacca
Par ton questionnement, par ta śakti et par ta force, ô Seigneur, j’ai été vaincue de trois manières—hommage à toi. Délivre-moi; je suis ta servante pour accomplir ton œuvre. Ordonne, et j’exécuterai cela.
Maurvī (speaking to Ghaṭotkaca, from immediate context)
Scene: Maurvī, subdued, offers salutations and declares herself conquered by question, power, and strength; she asks to be released and to serve as an instrument of his work.
