Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 75
नहुष उवाच । इंद्राणी कथमद्यैव नायाति मम सन्निधौ । तां चाह्वयत शीघ्रं भो मा विलंबितुमर्हथ
nahuṣa uvāca | iṃdrāṇī kathamadyaiva nāyāti mama sannidhau | tāṃ cāhvayata śīghraṃ bho mā vilaṃbitumarhatha
നഹുഷൻ പറഞ്ഞു—“ഇന്ദ്രാണി ഇന്നുതന്നെ എന്റെ സന്നിധിയിൽ എന്തുകൊണ്ട് വരുന്നില്ല? ഹേ മഹാന്മാരേ, അവളെ വേഗം വിളിക്കൂ; വൈകിക്കരുത്।”
Nahuṣa
Tirtha: Kedāra narrative frame (no specific sub-tīrtha named)
Listener: Interlocutor in Kedāra-kathā frame (not explicit)
Scene: Nahuṣa, eyes sharpened by longing, leans forward on the throne, hand raised in imperious gesture, ordering ministers/sages to summon Indrāṇī immediately.
FAQs
