Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 1
सूत उवाच । एवमुक्त्वा स भगवान्विरराम पितामहः । संतोष्य पावकं क्रुद्धं स्वयमेव द्विजोत्तमाः
sūta uvāca | evamuktvā sa bhagavānvirarāma pitāmahaḥ | saṃtoṣya pāvakaṃ kruddhaṃ svayameva dvijottamāḥ
စူတက ပြောသည်—ဤသို့ မိန့်ပြီးနောက် အရှင်ပိတామဟ (ဗြဟ္မာ) သည် တိတ်ဆိတ်သွား၏။ ထို့နောက် အို ဒွိဇတို့အထွတ်အမြတ်တို့၊ သူကိုယ်တိုင်ပင် ဒေါသထွက်နေသော မီးအဂ္နိကို သက်သာစေ하였다။
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa/Sauti)
Listener: द्विजोत्तमाः (the best brāhmaṇas in the audience)
Scene: Brahmā, serene and authoritative, raises a calming gesture toward a previously wrathful Agni; the flames settle from turbulent to steady; sages observe in relief as the narrative reaches a pause.
FAQs

This adhyāya proceeds toward the manifestation of Agnitīrtha; this verse sets the narrative by describing the pacification of Agni.
