Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 94
यस्य प्रसादं प्रतिलभ्य संतो वांछंति नैंद्रं पदमुज्ज्वलं वा । निस्तीर्णकर्मार्गलकालचक्राश्चरंत्यभीताः स शिवो गतिर्नः
yasya prasādaṃ pratilabhya saṃto vāṃchaṃti naiṃdraṃ padamujjvalaṃ vā | nistīrṇakarmārgalakālacakrāścaraṃtyabhītāḥ sa śivo gatirnaḥ
Dengan memperoleh rahmat-Nya, para suci tidak lagi mengingini kedudukan Indra yang gemilang; setelah melampaui halangan karma dan roda waktu, mereka berjalan tanpa gentar—Śiva itulah tempat bergantung kami.
Nāga-stuti (likely Takṣaka and/or the Nāgas, within Sūta’s narration)
Scene: Liberated saints walking fearlessly while the ‘wheel of time’ (kāla-cakra) and chains labeled ‘karma’ lie broken; Indra’s throne appears distant and undesired; Śiva’s grace is shown as a descending light.
FAQs

No specific location is mentioned; the verse glorifies the transformative power of Śiva’s prasāda.
None explicitly; the implied practice is devotion that seeks Śiva’s grace rather than worldly or heavenly rewards.
