Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 25
सूत उवाच । बाढमित्येव च प्रोक्ते ततो देवेन चक्रिणा । तद्भूतं निश्चलं जातं हर्षेण महतान्वितम्
sūta uvāca | bāḍhamityeva ca prokte tato devena cakriṇā | tadbhūtaṃ niścalaṃ jātaṃ harṣeṇa mahatānvitam
સૂત બોલ્યા—ચક્રધારી દેવે ‘બાઢમ્’ (તથાસ્તુ) કહ્યું ત્યારે તે ભૂત મહાન હર્ષથી ભરાઈ અચળ બની ગયું.
Sūta
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and other ṛṣis (standard Sūta setting; not explicit in verse but consistent with ‘Sūta uvāca’)
Scene: Viṣṇu (cakrī) utters ‘bāḍham’; the empowered being becomes still, radiant with joy; devas witness the sealing of a vow.
