Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 12
अनुविद्धा सिता चैव ईर्ष्या हिंसा तथा परा । माया निष्कृतिसंयुक्ता दक्षः पूर्वं महामतिः
anuviddhā sitā caiva īrṣyā hiṃsā tathā parā | māyā niṣkṛtisaṃyuktā dakṣaḥ pūrvaṃ mahāmatiḥ
Juga Anuviddhā dan Sitā; serta Īrṣyā (cemburu), Hiṃsā (kekerasan), dan Parā; Māyā pula, berserta Niṣkṛti—demikianlah nama-nama yang disebut. Pada zaman dahulu, Dakṣa berjiwa besar dan luhur.
Sūta (deduced from Purāṇic māhātmya narration style within Prabhāsakhaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (varānane)
Scene: An allegorical procession of personified qualities: Īrṣyā with greenish gaze, Hiṃsā with a weapon lowered in shame, Parā as a transcendent luminous figure, Māyā veiled with shimmering patterns, Niṣkṛti holding a water-pot and kusa grass—standing near Dakṣa, who is praised as ‘mahāmati’ in a retrospective frame.
