Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 45
तत्त्था नान्यथा किंचिदत्र प्रोक्तं हि विष्णुना । यो ह्यहं स हरिर्ज्ञेयो यो हरिः सोऽहमित्युता
tattthā nānyathā kiṃcidatra proktaṃ hi viṣṇunā | yo hyahaṃ sa harirjñeyo yo hariḥ so'hamityutā
វាជាដូច្នេះពិត មិនមែនផ្សេងទេ; ព្រោះអ្វីដែលព្រះវិෂ្ណុបាននិយាយនៅទីនេះ គឺសច្ចៈ។ «អ្នកណាដែលជាខ្ញុំ គេត្រូវដឹងថាជាហរិ; ហើយអ្នកណាដែលជាហរិ នោះគឺខ្ញុំ»—ដូច្នេះហើយ។
Maheśvara (Śiva)
Scene: Śiva proclaims the truth of Viṣṇu’s words, declaring mutual identity; the scene can be visualized as a luminous convergence of Śiva and Viṣṇu auras, suggesting one essence in two forms.
