Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 16
अमंगलान्येव च मंगलानि भवंति येनाधिकृतानि दक्ष । त्रियंबकेनाथ सुमंगलानि भवंति सद्योह्यपमंगलानि
amaṃgalānyeva ca maṃgalāni bhavaṃti yenādhikṛtāni dakṣa | triyaṃbakenātha sumaṃgalāni bhavaṃti sadyohyapamaṃgalāni
Ô Dakṣa, même l’inauspice devient auspice lorsque Lui l’ordonne; et par Triyambaka, ce qui est de mauvais présage devient aussitôt souverainement favorable.
Dadhīci
Tirtha: Kedāra (doṣa-haraṇa frame)

Listener: Dakṣa
Scene: Dadhīci declares Śiva’s power to invert ill-omens: visualized as dark clouds of apamaṅgala dissolving into radiant light around a trident/third-eye symbol; the yajña fire brightens as if awaiting Śiva’s sanction.
