Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 85
दिशं कर्णौ पिधायापि निर्घोषं शृणुयान्न च । न स जीवेत्तथा स्वप्ने पति तस्य पिधीयते
diśaṃ karṇau pidhāyāpi nirghoṣaṃ śṛṇuyānna ca | na sa jīvettathā svapne pati tasya pidhīyate
यदि कान ढँक लेने पर भी उसे कोई ध्वनि न सुनाई दे, तो वह जीवित नहीं रहता। इसी प्रकार स्वप्न में यदि उसका पति/स्वामी बंद हो जाए या ओझल हो जाए, तो वह भी मृत्यु का अपशकुन है।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) addressing the sages (deduced)
Scene: A person covers his ears yet perceives no sound; beside him a dream-vision shows the ‘lord/husband’ figure being shut behind a closing door or veil, symbolizing severance.
