Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 66
त्वया विमोहितात्मानो भ्राम्यन्त्यजभवादयः । सा कथं क्षुभ्यसि त्वं तु किं स्वधाम न बुध्यसे
tvayā vimohitātmāno bhrāmyantyajabhavādayaḥ | sā kathaṃ kṣubhyasi tvaṃ tu kiṃ svadhāma na budhyase
«Par toi, même Brahmā et d’autres grands êtres sont abusés et errent. Comment donc pourrais-tu, toi-même, être troublée ? Ne reconnais-tu pas ton propre dhāma, ta demeure véritable, ta nature réelle ?»
Govinda (Śrī Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī/Śakti-figure
Scene: Kṛṣṇa points beyond the immediate drama to a cosmic vista: Brahmā and other beings wandering in delusion; then turns back, urging Devī to remember her own abode/nature.
