Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 33
श्रीदेव्युवाच । नान्यथा मे वचो राजञ्जायतेऽत्र कथंचन । तस्माद्बालोऽपि ते पुत्रः पंचत्वं समुपैष्यति
śrīdevyuvāca | nānyathā me vaco rājañjāyate'tra kathaṃcana | tasmādbālo'pi te putraḥ paṃcatvaṃ samupaiṣyati
શ્રીદેવીએ કહ્યું—હે રાજન, અહીં મારું વચન કોઈ રીતે અન્યથા થતું નથી; તેથી તારો પુત્ર બાળક હોવા છતાં પંચત્વ (મૃત્યુ) પામશે।
Devī (Pārvatī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devī speaks with solemn authority to the king: her word cannot be otherwise; the promised son will die in childhood (‘pañcatva’). The king’s face shows shock and grief.
