Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 142
शिवशक्तिमयं ह्येतत्प्रत्यक्षं दृश्यते जगत् । लिंगांकं च भगांकं च नान्यदेवांकितं क्वचित्
śivaśaktimayaṃ hyetatpratyakṣaṃ dṛśyate jagat | liṃgāṃkaṃ ca bhagāṃkaṃ ca nānyadevāṃkitaṃ kvacit
આ જગત પ્રત્યક્ષ જ શિવ-શક્તિમય દેખાય છે. સર્વત્ર લિંગ અને ભગ (યોની)નાં ચિહ્નો છે; ક્યાંય અન્ય દેવતાનું અંકન નથી।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration context)
Type: kshetra
Listener: devotees / śiva-vratins
Scene: A cosmic vision: the universe as a vast mandala where mountains, rivers, and beings subtly form the liṅga and yoni motifs, indicating Śiva-Śakti pervasion; no other deity-mark dominates the field.
