Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 88
यो विधाता विधातुश्च कारणस्यापि कारणम् । तेजसां परमं तेजः स शिवो नः परा गतिः
yo vidhātā vidhātuśca kāraṇasyāpi kāraṇam | tejasāṃ paramaṃ tejaḥ sa śivo naḥ parā gatiḥ
Dialah Penetap takdir, bahkan Penetap bagi sang penetap; sebab bagi segala sebab; cahaya tertinggi di antara segala cahaya. Śiva itulah tujuan tertinggi kami.
Rājaputra (continuing reply)
Scene: Aniconic emphasis: a vast column/orb of light (jyoti) representing Śiva as supreme radiance; beneath it, Brahmā and other ‘ordiners’ appear small, indicating ‘ordainer of the ordainer’.
