Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 66
यामि वा तत्कथं पादौ चलतो मे कथंचन । एतस्मिन्मे मनो विद्धं खिद्यतेऽज्ञानसंकटे
yāmi vā tatkathaṃ pādau calato me kathaṃcana | etasminme mano viddhaṃ khidyate'jñānasaṃkaṭe
Jika aku harus pergi—bagaimanakah kakiku dapat melangkah sama sekali? Tentang hal inilah fikiranku seakan tertusuk, dan ia menderita dalam kesempitan avidyā, kejahilan serta keraguan.
Same narrator within Sūta’s discourse (deduced)
Scene: A pilgrim stands at a crossroads near a distant sacred horizon; his feet are shown rooted while a thorn/arrow motif pierces the heart-mind region, symbolizing ‘mano viddham’; surrounding mist represents ajñāna-saṅkaṭa.
