Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 20
अहं त्र्यक्षेण सावित्रि पुरा प्रोक्ता मुहुर्मुहुः । नारदस्य मुनेर्वाक्यं न श्रद्धेयं त्वया प्रिये । यदि वांछसि सौख्यानि मम जातानि पार्वति
ahaṃ tryakṣeṇa sāvitri purā proktā muhurmuhuḥ | nāradasya munervākyaṃ na śraddheyaṃ tvayā priye | yadi vāṃchasi saukhyāni mama jātāni pārvati
हे सावित्री, त्रिनेत्रधारीने मला पूर्वी वारंवार सांगितले— ‘प्रिये, नारद मुनींच्या वचनांवर तू विश्वास ठेवू नकोस. हे पार्वती, माझ्यापासून उत्पन्न होणारे सुख हवे असेल तर।’
Sāvitrī (addressing Pārvatī/Gaurī; Śiva is quoted as ‘Tryakṣa’)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Gaurī recalls Śiva’s repeated warning to Sāvitrī: do not trust Nārada’s words; the mood is tense, intimate, and cautionary.
