Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 6
द्वितीयोऽक्षस्तथा सव्ये चक्रं तन्मानसे स्थितम् । हयाश्च सप्त च्छांदांसि तेषां नामानि मे श्रृणु
dvitīyo'kṣastathā savye cakraṃ tanmānase sthitam | hayāśca sapta cchāṃdāṃsi teṣāṃ nāmāni me śrṛṇu
दुसरा अक्षही डाव्या बाजूस आहे; त्या बाजूस त्यावर चक्र स्थित आहे। आणि सात घोडे आहेत—ते छंद आहेत; त्यांची नावे माझ्याकडून ऐक।
Nārada (continuing)
Listener: Pāṇḍava
Scene: Sūrya’s chariot with seven horses emerging as personified metres—each horse subtly marked with a manuscript/metrical motif; Skanda instructs a Pāṇḍava seated respectfully.
