Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 17
पुलस्त्य उवाच । एवमस्त्विति तामुक्त्वा गृहीत्वा तां सुराधिपः । विमाने च तया सार्द्धं जगाम त्रिदिवं प्रति
pulastya uvāca | evamastviti tāmuktvā gṛhītvā tāṃ surādhipaḥ | vimāne ca tayā sārddhaṃ jagāma tridivaṃ prati
Pulastya dit : Lui disant : « Qu’il en soit ainsi », le Seigneur des dieux la prit avec lui ; puis, avec elle dans un char céleste, il se rendit vers le Tridiva, le ciel.
Pulastya
Listener: A king (pārthiva-sattama)
Scene: Pulastya narrates: Indra takes the woman and, with her, departs in a celestial chariot toward heaven; the scene is dynamic—upward motion, clouds, attendants, and a shining vimāna.
