Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 7
भोभो मुने महासत्त्व अलं ते व्रतमीदृशम् । सर्वं व्याप्य स्थितं पश्य स्थावरं जङ्गमं च माम्
bhobho mune mahāsattva alaṃ te vratamīdṛśam | sarvaṃ vyāpya sthitaṃ paśya sthāvaraṃ jaṅgamaṃ ca mām
Wahai muni yang berjiwa agung—cukuplah dengan vrat yang sekeras ini. Lihatlah Aku: Aku meliputi segala-galanya dan tetap bersemayam dalam semua, pada yang tidak bergerak dan yang bergerak.

Listener: Muni / great-souled ascetic pilgrim
Scene: A radiant deity appears before the ascetic, raising a hand in gentle admonition; the background subtly shows animals, trees, rocks, and people suffused with the same divine glow, illustrating pervasion.
FAQs
