Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 33
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच । प्रतिभूरस्मि नाशाय मायायास्तव निर्गमे । मद्वाक्यान्निष्क्रमं कृत्वा गच्छ मोक्षमनुत्तमम्
śrīkṛṣṇa uvāca | pratibhūrasmi nāśāya māyāyāstava nirgame | madvākyānniṣkramaṃ kṛtvā gaccha mokṣamanuttamam
Śrī Kṛṣṇa dit : « Je suis ton garant, afin que la māyā soit détruite lorsque tu paraîtras au dehors. Agis selon Ma parole, sors, et va vers la délivrance suprême, sans égale. »
Śrī Kṛṣṇa
Tirtha: Dvārakā (the Lord who grants the assurance)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Garbha-being (and by extension Vyāsa present in the episode)
Scene: Kṛṣṇa, serene and authoritative, declares Himself the surety; a veil of dark māyā is shown tearing as the garbha emerges into light; the composition centers on Kṛṣṇa’s raised hand in assurance (abhaya/vara) and the path opening toward liberation.
