Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 6
गेहिनो हेलया जिग्युर्दस्यून्दूर्ग पतिर्यथा । न केऽपि प्रभवस्तां चाप्यनुकर्तुं गृहेश्वरीम्
gehino helayā jigyurdasyūndūrga patiryathā | na ke'pi prabhavastāṃ cāpyanukartuṃ gṛheśvarīm
Para perumah tangga menaklukkan kesusahan dengan mudah, seperti tuan benteng menewaskan penyamun. Namun tiada seorang pun benar-benar berkuasa untuk meniru sang gṛheśvarī, nyonya rumah, dalam peranannya yang menegakkan dan memelihara rumah tangga.
Daityendra/Vajrāṅga (continued reflection; implied)
Scene: A fortified city/house as a ‘durgā’; the householder as vigilant guardian; bandit-like troubles repelled; at the center, the gṛheśvarī calmly sustaining the home—symbolizing the unseen strength that cannot be imitated.
