Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 23
तथापि वैष्णवी माया मोहयत्यविवेकिनम् । हृदयस्थं न जानंति ह्यपि मृत्यु शतायुषः
tathāpi vaiṣṇavī māyā mohayatyavivekinam | hṛdayasthaṃ na jānaṃti hyapi mṛtyu śatāyuṣaḥ
Namun demikian, Māyā Vaiṣṇavī tetap memperdaya orang yang tidak berdaya-bicara (tanpa pertimbangan). Bahkan mereka yang hidup seratus tahun pun tidak menyedari bahawa maut bersemayam di dalam hati sendiri.
Lomaśa
Scene: A human figure with a luminous heart where a small skeletal ‘mṛtyu’ silhouette sits; Māyā appears as a veiling goddess drawing a curtain over the eyes; a sage points to the heart.
