Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 52
इन्द्र उवाच । यदि तुष्टोऽसि मे देव यदि देयो वरो मम । यदि त्वां प्रार्थयाम्यद्य भूयात्तु तादृशं विभो
indra uvāca | yadi tuṣṭo'si me deva yadi deyo varo mama | yadi tvāṃ prārthayāmyadya bhūyāttu tādṛśaṃ vibho
ಇಂದ್ರನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಹೇ ದೇವಾ! ನೀನು ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ತೃಪ್ತನಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಮತ್ತು ನನಗೆ ವರ ನೀಡಬೇಕೆಂದಿದ್ದರೆ, ಇಂದು ನಾನು ಬೇಡುವುದೇ, ಹೇ ವಿಭೋ, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಗಲಿ.
Indra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Indra speaks with folded hands, eyes lowered yet steady; Brahmā listens, the divine assembly attentive, the purified atmosphere of the tīrtha lingering after snāna.
FAQs

The request occurs within the Adhyāya 190 tīrtha setting in Nāgara Khaṇḍa, where ritual purity frames divine dialogue.
No direct prescription; it is a formal prārthanā (supplication) in the aftermath of sacred rites.
