Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 30
मम कीर्तिसमुद्धारः स प्रभावो महात्मनाम् । अमीषां यदि ते स्वर्गं प्रयास्यन्ति मया सह । तदाहमपि यास्यामि देवदूतान्यथा न हि
mama kīrtisamuddhāraḥ sa prabhāvo mahātmanām | amīṣāṃ yadi te svargaṃ prayāsyanti mayā saha | tadāhamapi yāsyāmi devadūtānyathā na hi
Demikianlah kebesaran jiwa-jiwa mulia ini—oleh mereka kemasyhuranku telah terangkat. Jika mereka akan berangkat ke syurga bersama-samaku, wahai utusan dewa, maka aku pun akan pergi; tidak mungkin selain demikian.
Indradyumna (king)
Scene: A divine messenger (devadūta) stands with a radiant chariot; a humble speaker gestures toward five noble companions, insisting on ascending together. The atmosphere is twilight-gold, with upward-flowing clouds.
