Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 64
ततो मया प्रणम्योच्चैर्विज्ञप्तः प्रपितामहः । प्राणिपत्य मुनिश्रेष्ठ लज्जां त्यक्त्वा सुदूरतः
tato mayā praṇamyoccairvijñaptaḥ prapitāmahaḥ | prāṇipatya muniśreṣṭha lajjāṃ tyaktvā sudūrataḥ
Alors, m’étant incliné et prosterné avec une profonde révérence, j’adressai ma requête au Grand Aïeul (Brahmā). Ô meilleur des sages, après m’être prosterné, je rejetai au loin ma pudeur et parlai ouvertement.
Narrator addressing Agastya; action directed to Brahmā (Prapitāmaha)
Scene: A devotee/soul prostrates before Brahmā, then rises to speak, visibly setting aside embarrassment; Brahmā sits as cosmic grandsire, calm and attentive.
