Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 20
अहं त्र्यक्षेण सावित्रि पुरा प्रोक्ता मुहुर्मुहुः । नारदस्य मुनेर्वाक्यं न श्रद्धेयं त्वया प्रिये । यदि वांछसि सौख्यानि मम जातानि पार्वति
ahaṃ tryakṣeṇa sāvitri purā proktā muhurmuhuḥ | nāradasya munervākyaṃ na śraddheyaṃ tvayā priye | yadi vāṃchasi saukhyāni mama jātāni pārvati
«Ô Sāvitri, jadis le Trinètre me mit en garde maintes fois : “Bien-aimée, ne te fie pas aux paroles du sage Nārada, si tu désires les bonheurs qui naissent de moi, ô Pārvatī.”»
Sāvitrī (addressing Pārvatī/Gaurī; Śiva is quoted as ‘Tryakṣa’)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Gaurī recalls Śiva’s repeated warning to Sāvitrī: do not trust Nārada’s words; the mood is tense, intimate, and cautionary.
