Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 92
नारदेनैवमुक्ता सा कुपिता पार्वती भृशम् । बभाषे मत्सरग्रस्ता साक्षेपं वचनं सती
nāradenaivamuktā sā kupitā pārvatī bhṛśam | babhāṣe matsaragrastā sākṣepaṃ vacanaṃ satī
Ainsi interpellée par Nārada, Pārvatī s’emporta violemment. Submergée par la jalousie, la vertueuse Satī proféra des paroles pleines de reproche.
Narrator (Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa tradition within Māheśvarakhaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Internal audience of the Kedārakhaṇḍa dialogue (contextually the hearers of the māhātmya)
Scene: Parvatī, stung by Nārada’s words, flares with anger; her posture stiffens, eyes sharpen, and she speaks with reproach—yet her inherent sanctity (satī) remains visible as a restrained aura.
