Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 90
इति चिंत्य विरिंचोऽपि तत्रैवांतरधीयत । वज्रांगोऽपि समाप्ते तु तपसि स्थिरसंयमः
iti ciṃtya viriṃco'pi tatraivāṃtaradhīyata | vajrāṃgo'pi samāpte tu tapasi sthirasaṃyamaḥ
ಇಂತೆ ಚಿಂತಿಸಿ ವಿರಿಂಚನು (ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ) ಅಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಅಂತರ್ಧಾನನಾದನು. ವಜ್ರಾಂಗನ ತಪಸ್ಸು ಪೂರ್ಣವಾದಾಗ ಅವನು ಸಂಯಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಿರನಾಗಿ ನಿಂತನು.
Narrator (contextual)
Scene: In a forest-āśrama, Brahmā (Viriñca) fades from sight as if dissolving into light; nearby, Vajrāṅga sits composed after completing austerities, posture unwavering, surrounded by quiet trees and a simple hermitage.
FAQs
Spiritual accomplishment is confirmed not merely by visions, but by continued steadiness in self-control after the austerity ends.
No named tīrtha is present; the verse narrates Brahmā’s departure and Vajrāṅga’s disciplined state.
None explicitly; it references the completion of tapas and the maintenance of saṃyama (restraint).
