Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 13
किं वच्मि लोकेश सुकीर्त्तिमद्य ते वेधास्त्वदीयांगजपद्मसंभवः । विश्वं निविष्टं च ततो ददर्श वटस्य पत्रे हि यथो वटो मतः
kiṃ vacmi lokeśa sukīrttimadya te vedhāstvadīyāṃgajapadmasaṃbhavaḥ | viśvaṃ niviṣṭaṃ ca tato dadarśa vaṭasya patre hi yatho vaṭo mataḥ
Wahai Penguasa alam (Lokeśa), apa yang dapat kukatakan hari ini tentang kemasyhuran sucimu? Bahkan Brahmā (Vedhā), yang lahir dari padma yang muncul dari tubuhmu, melihat seluruh jagat terserap di dalam dirimu—seakan pohon beringin itu sendiri tampak di dalam sehelai daun beringin.

Scene: Brahmā, lotus-born, beholds the entire cosmos contained within the Lord—like a banyan tree mirrored within a single banyan leaf; a paradox of scale rendered as divine vision.
