Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 44
वयस्यासंवृचामेवं खेलमानां यदृच्छया । अवतीर्याहमहरं विमानान्मदनातुरः
vayasyāsaṃvṛcāmevaṃ khelamānāṃ yadṛcchayā | avatīryāhamaharaṃ vimānānmadanāturaḥ
Tandis que ses compagnes s’ébattaient ainsi, par hasard je descendis du char céleste; tourmenté par le désir, je saisis l’occasion.

Type: tirtha
Scene: An aerial car hovers above a river; the protagonist descends hurriedly, eyes fixed on the bathing maidens; companions splash and play; the moment captures impulsive motion—descent, desire, and opportunism—against a luminous sacred waterscape.
