Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 59
यावच्चन्द्रश्च सूर्यश्च यावत्तिष्ठति मेदिनी । तावद्दानं मया दत्तं परिपन्थी न कश्चन
yāvaccandraśca sūryaśca yāvattiṣṭhati medinī | tāvaddānaṃ mayā dattaṃ paripanthī na kaścana
Selama bulan dan matahari bertahan, selama bumi tetap tegak—demikian lama pula anugerah yang kuberikan ini akan tetap; jangan ada seorang pun menjadi penghalangnya.

Type: kshetra
Scene: Janārdana proclaims the perpetuity of the grant before assembled sages and witnesses; sun and moon symbolically appear above; a solemn warning is issued against future obstructers; the scene feels like a sacred charter proclamation.
