Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 53
यस्यां तिष्ठत्यसौ योनौ तां च वेत्ति न संशयः । सर्वं स्मरति वृत्तांतं बहूनां जन्मनामपि
yasyāṃ tiṣṭhatyasau yonau tāṃ ca vetti na saṃśayaḥ | sarvaṃ smarati vṛttāṃtaṃ bahūnāṃ janmanāmapi
Dalam rahim mana pun ia bersemayam, ia mengenal ibu itu tanpa syak. Ia mengingati seluruh riwayat—peristiwa banyak kelahiran juga.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), by section-wide deduction (Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: A luminous fetus within a lotus-womb, surrounded by faint ‘memory-visions’—small vignettes of prior lives appearing like translucent panels; the mother’s presence is known to the fetus, conveyed by a gentle connecting light.
