汝は近き岸も遠き岸もなく、無量にして測り難く、万有の利益に常に励み給う。捉え難く、因にして作者、至上の主宰にして、最高の到達処なり。
Lomaharṣaṇa/Sūta (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: An iconographic ‘limitless’ deity: Skanda/Īśvara depicted with an infinite ocean-horizon metaphor (no near/far shore), radiance expanding outward, while devotees stand in awe; symbols of welfare to beings (animals, sages, common folk) included.
The divine is both transcendent (beyond grasp) and compassionate (working for all beings’ welfare), and is the highest aim of life.
No tīrtha is mentioned; this is metaphysical praise.
None; it frames contemplation and devotion as the implied practice.
