Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 47
यावन्न त्यजसि व्यक्तं मम सापत्न्यतां गताम् । तथा नित्यं प्रणामं त्वं करोषि वृषभध्वज
yāvanna tyajasi vyaktaṃ mama sāpatnyatāṃ gatām | tathā nityaṃ praṇāmaṃ tvaṃ karoṣi vṛṣabhadhvaja
“Selama engkau belum meninggalkan dengan nyata hal yang telah menjadi ‘saingan isteri’ bagiku, dan selama engkau masih melakukan sujud hormat setiap hari, wahai Tuhan bertanda panji lembu…”
Devī (Pārvatī/Girijā)
Scene: Devī, pained yet firm, sets conditions: until Śiva abandons the ‘co-wife’ situation and stops daily obeisance, reconciliation is withheld; Śiva stands as Vṛṣabhadhvaja, attentive.
