Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
निग्राह्याः सर्वलोकेषु प्रबुद्धैः श्रूयते श्रुतौ । पुत्रेणापि पिता शास्यः शिष्येणापि गुरुः स्वयम्
nigrāhyāḥ sarvalokeṣu prabuddhaiḥ śrūyate śrutau | putreṇāpi pitā śāsyaḥ śiṣyeṇāpi guruḥ svayam
Les éveillés déclarent—ainsi qu’on l’entend dans la Śruti—que les fauteurs de faute doivent être contenus en tous les mondes. Même un père peut être repris par son fils, et même un maître par son propre disciple.
Śiva (deduced from the continuing admonitory discourse in the adhyāya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A young disciple stands with folded hands yet steady gaze, correcting an elder teacher who has stepped toward an improper act; nearby, a father listens as his son points to a śāstra leaf; the setting is a tīrtha rest-house with pilgrims observing quietly.
FAQs
Dharma is higher than social rank; when someone deviates, correction is a duty—even across family or teacher-student ties.
No single tīrtha is named in this verse; it supports the broader tīrtha-narrative by establishing dharmic conduct.
None; the prescription is social-ethical: restraining wrongdoing (nigrāha) according to śāstra.
