Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 23
तथापि वैष्णवी माया मोहयत्यविवेकिनम् । हृदयस्थं न जानंति ह्यपि मृत्यु शतायुषः
tathāpi vaiṣṇavī māyā mohayatyavivekinam | hṛdayasthaṃ na jānaṃti hyapi mṛtyu śatāyuṣaḥ
Namun demikian, Vaiṣṇavī Māyā tetap memesona orang yang tanpa pembedaan. Bahkan mereka yang hidup seratus tahun pun tidak mengenali maut yang bersemayam di dalam hati mereka sendiri.
Lomaśa
Scene: A human figure with a luminous heart where a small skeletal ‘mṛtyu’ silhouette sits; Māyā appears as a veiling goddess drawing a curtain over the eyes; a sage points to the heart.
