Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 27
श्रीरागप्रमुखा रागास्तस्य पुत्रा महौजसः । अमूर्त्ताश्चैव ते पुत्रा हरदेव समुद्भवाः
śrīrāgapramukhā rāgāstasya putrā mahaujasaḥ | amūrttāścaiva te putrā haradeva samudbhavāḥ
Rāga yang diketuai oleh Śrīrāga ialah putera-puteranya yang perkasa dan bercahaya. Putera-putera itu sesungguhnya tidak berwujud, kerana mereka terbit daripada Hara, Tuhan yang ilahi.
Deductive: Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa narrating to sages
Type: kshetra
Scene: Personified rāgas led by Śrīrāga appear as radiant, mighty ‘sons’—yet with an aura of formlessness, emerging from Hara; the scene blends anthropomorphic figures with abstract sound-waves/halos.
