Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 27
यथा भागवतं शास्त्रं तथा भागवतो नरः । उभयोरंतरं नास्ति हरहर्योस्तथैव च
yathā bhāgavataṃ śāstraṃ tathā bhāgavato naraḥ | ubhayoraṃtaraṃ nāsti haraharyostathaiva ca
Tel est le śāstra Bhāgavata, tel est aussi l’homme bhāgavata, le dévot ; il n’y a nulle différence entre les deux—de même, il n’y a nulle différence entre Hara et Hari.
Skanda (deduced from Dvārakā Māhātmya narration style within Skanda Purāṇa)
Scene: A serene assembly where a Bhāgavata devotee is shown radiating the same aura as a sacred manuscript; behind them, Śiva and Viṣṇu appear as a single unified form or as two deities sharing one halo, indicating Hari-Hara aikya.
