Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 148
चंद्रावयवसंयुक्तं जटाजूटकपालिनम् । एकीभावं प्रपन्नोहं यथा पूर्वं तथाऽधुना । न मां गौरी प्रपश्येत प्रपश्यामि तथैव च
caṃdrāvayavasaṃyuktaṃ jaṭājūṭakapālinam | ekībhāvaṃ prapannohaṃ yathā pūrvaṃ tathā'dhunā | na māṃ gaurī prapaśyeta prapaśyāmi tathaiva ca
ខ្ញុំបានឃើញរូបនោះតុបតែងដោយចន្ទក្រវ៉ាត់ មានសក់ជាចងជតា និងកាន់ភាជន៍ក្បាលឆ្អឹង។ ខ្ញុំបានស្រឡះចិត្តសុំជ្រកក្នុងភាពជាឯក—ដូចមុន ក៏ដូចឥឡូវ។ សូមឲ្យព្រះគោរីកុំឃើញខ្ញុំ; ហើយខ្ញុំក៏នឹងឃើញព្រះនាងដូចមុនដែរ។
Narrator (contextual; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa in Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa narration)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/assembly (contextual)
Scene: The unified form now emphasizes Śiva’s ascetic signs—crescent moon, matted locks, skull-bowl—while the witness declares refuge in oneness; a tense, intimate moment of guarding the vision from Gaurī’s notice (as the text states).
