Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 12
सा च संज्ञा रवेस्तेजो महद्दुःखेन भामिनी । असहंतीव सा चित्ते चिंतयामास वै तदा
sā ca saṃjñā ravestejo mahadduḥkhena bhāminī | asahaṃtīva sā citte ciṃtayāmāsa vai tadā
आणि तेजस्विनी संज्ञा, रवीच्या प्रखर तेजामुळे महान दुःखात पडली; जणू सहन न होऊन तिने तेव्हा अंतःकरणात गहन विचार केला।
Narrator (Vyāsa, continuing)
Scene: Saṃjñā, radiant yet distressed, suffers under Ravi’s blazing splendor; she turns inward, contemplating with a heavy heart, suggesting impending decisive action.
