Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 53
यस्यां तिष्ठत्यसौ योनौ तां च वेत्ति न संशयः । सर्वं स्मरति वृत्तांतं बहूनां जन्मनामपि
yasyāṃ tiṣṭhatyasau yonau tāṃ ca vetti na saṃśayaḥ | sarvaṃ smarati vṛttāṃtaṃ bahūnāṃ janmanāmapi
ഏത് യോനിയിൽ അത് വസിക്കുന്നുവോ, ആ (അമ്മയെ) അത് സംശയമില്ലാതെ അറിയുന്നു. അനേകം ജന്മങ്ങളുടെ മുഴുവൻ വൃത്താന്തവും അത് സ്മരിക്കുന്നു.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), by section-wide deduction (Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: A luminous fetus within a lotus-womb, surrounded by faint ‘memory-visions’—small vignettes of prior lives appearing like translucent panels; the mother’s presence is known to the fetus, conveyed by a gentle connecting light.
