Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 13
पार्वत्युवाच । नमस्ते सर्वरूपाय नमस्ते वृषभध्वज । जटिलेश नमस्तुभ्यं नीलकण्ठ नमोस्तुते
pārvatyuvāca | namaste sarvarūpāya namaste vṛṣabhadhvaja | jaṭileśa namastubhyaṃ nīlakaṇṭha namostute
Pārvatī bersabda: Sembah sujud kepada-Mu, yang berwujud segala rupa; sembah sujud kepada-Mu, wahai Vṛṣabhadhvaja, yang panjinya Sang Lembu. Wahai Jatileśa, Tuhan berambut gimbal, hamba bersujud; wahai Nīlakaṇṭha, hormat bakti kepada-Mu.
Pārvatī
Listener: Mahādeva (Śiva)
