Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 90
धारणां सम्यगास्थाय समाधावचलो भवेत् । यदि नेच्छति ते मृत्युं ततो नासौ प्रपद्यते
dhāraṇāṃ samyagāsthāya samādhāvacalo bhavet | yadi necchati te mṛtyuṃ tato nāsau prapadyate
Setelah menegakkan dhāraṇā dengan benar, hendaklah seseorang menjadi teguh tanpa goyah dalam samādhi. Jika pada saat itu maut tidak “menghendaki”mu, maka ia tidak akan menimpamu.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced)
Listener: Pāṇḍava
Scene: A yogin seated in padmāsana, breath subtle, mind fixed; behind him a personified Mṛtyu pauses at a threshold, unable to enter the circle of samādhi.
