Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 93
अद्भ्योऽग्निर्ब्रह्मतः क्षत्रमश्मनो लोहमुत्थितम् । तेषां सर्वत्रगं तेजः स्वासु योनिषु शाम्यति
adbhyo'gnirbrahmataḥ kṣatramaśmano lohamutthitam | teṣāṃ sarvatragaṃ tejaḥ svāsu yoniṣu śāmyati
जलातून अग्नी, ब्रह्मातून क्षत्र, आणि दगडातून लोखंड उत्पन्न होते; पण जे तेज सर्वत्र पसरते, ते आपल्या-आपल्या योनीत—मूळात परतल्यावर शांत होते.

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A symbolic triptych: waters giving rise to flame; a radiant brahmanical light giving rise to a crowned kṣatriya; stone yielding iron—then all streams returning inward to a calm luminous center, representing ‘svayoni’ pacification.
