Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 104
ईश्वर उवाच । त्वमेव हि चराः प्राणाः सर्वस्य जगतोरणिः । त्वया विरहितो देवि मुहूर्तमपि नोत्सहे
īśvara uvāca | tvameva hi carāḥ prāṇāḥ sarvasya jagatoraṇiḥ | tvayā virahito devi muhūrtamapi notsahe
Īśvara dit : « Toi seule es les souffles vivants en mouvement de tout l’univers ; toi es l’araṇi, le bois qui engendre le feu du monde entier. Ô Déesse, séparé de toi, je ne puis supporter ne fût-ce qu’un instant. »
Śiva (Īśvara/Parameśvara)

Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Somnātha/Prabhāsa sacred ambience; Īśvara addresses Devī with tender intensity, presenting her as the moving prāṇas and the cosmic araṇi; the divine couple seated in serene yet intimate posture, with subtle symbols of fire-generation (araṇi) and breath-winds moving through the scene.
