Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 37
श्रीभगवानुवाच । अनेनैव प्रदत्ता मे मही त्रिपदलक्षणा । पदद्वयेन च मयाक्रांतं त्रैलोक्यमद्य वै
śrībhagavānuvāca | anenaiva pradattā me mahī tripadalakṣaṇā | padadvayena ca mayākrāṃtaṃ trailokyamadya vai
Tuhan Yang Maha Mulia bersabda: “Dengan perjanjian inilah, bumi—yang diukur dengan tiga langkah—telah dianugerahkan kepadaku. Dan dengan dua langkah, pada hari ini benar-benar telah kuliputi tiga alam.”
Śrī Bhagavān (Viṣṇu as Vāmana)
Tirtha: Kedāra-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Vāmana declares the earth granted as ‘three-step-measured’; vision of Trivikrama implied—two strides spanning the three worlds, with cosmic layers (earth, mid-region, heaven).
