Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 61
त्रिपुरा त्वरिता नित्या सांख्या कुंडलिनी ध्रुवा । कल्याणी शोभना निरया निष्कला परमा कला
tripurā tvaritā nityā sāṃkhyā kuṃḍalinī dhruvā | kalyāṇī śobhanā nirayā niṣkalā paramā kalā
Elle est Tripurā et Tvaritā ; elle est Nityā, Sāṃkhyā, Kuṇḍalinī, et l’Inébranlable. Elle est Kalyāṇī et la Belle ; elle est au-delà de toute déchéance, sans parties et sans tache — oui, l’Art suprême et la Puissance suprême.
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsa Māhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A luminous Devī as the many-named Śakti: Tripurā enthroned within a yantric mandala, a subtle serpent-power (kuṇḍalinī) rising through lotuses, surrounded by a halo of epithets like a garland; Prabhāsa’s sea-breeze and temple lamps in the background.
