Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 6
गेहिनो हेलया जिग्युर्दस्यून्दूर्ग पतिर्यथा । न केऽपि प्रभवस्तां चाप्यनुकर्तुं गृहेश्वरीम्
gehino helayā jigyurdasyūndūrga patiryathā | na ke'pi prabhavastāṃ cāpyanukartuṃ gṛheśvarīm
जैसे दुर्ग का स्वामी डाकुओं को जीत लेता है, वैसे ही गृहस्थ भी सहज ही कष्टों पर विजय पा लेते हैं; परन्तु गृहेश्वरी—पालनकर्त्री—का यथार्थ अनुकरण करने की शक्ति किसी में नहीं।
Daityendra/Vajrāṅga (continued reflection; implied)
Scene: A fortified city/house as a ‘durgā’; the householder as vigilant guardian; bandit-like troubles repelled; at the center, the gṛheśvarī calmly sustaining the home—symbolizing the unseen strength that cannot be imitated.
