Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 63
इंद्रियाणां सात्त्विकाच्च त्रिगुणानि च तान्यपि । एतैः संसिद्धयंत्रेण सच्चिदानन्दवीक्षणात्
iṃdriyāṇāṃ sāttvikācca triguṇāni ca tānyapi | etaiḥ saṃsiddhayaṃtreṇa saccidānandavīkṣaṇāt
सात्त्विक अंश से ही इन्द्रियाँ (ज्ञान और कर्म) उत्पन्न होती हैं; वे भी त्रिगुणात्मक ही हैं। इस साधन-यंत्र द्वारा, सच्चिदानन्द के दर्शन से सिद्धि प्राप्त होती है।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced, Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Scene: A yogin in a temple corridor: senses depicted as five horses being gently reined; above, a luminous triad-inscription Sat-Cit-Ānanda radiates from a Śiva-liṅga, indicating inner vision arising from disciplined instrumentality.
FAQs
