Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 149
भविष्यति न संदेहः सत्यं प्रतिवदामि ते । तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ याह्याशु स्वगृहं वरवर्णिनि
bhaviṣyati na saṃdehaḥ satyaṃ prativadāmi te | tasmāduttiṣṭha yāhyāśu svagṛhaṃ varavarṇini
“ଏହା ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ଘଟିବ—ସନ୍ଦେହ ନାହିଁ; ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ ସତ୍ୟ କହୁଛି। ତେଣୁ ଉଠି ଶୀଘ୍ର ନିଜ ଘରକୁ ଯାଅ, ହେ ସୁନ୍ଦରବର୍ଣ୍ଣିନୀ।”
Himālaya (to Pārvatī)
Tirtha: Kedāra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Himavat speaks with firm kindness, palm raised in a directive gesture; Pārvatī listens, still radiant; the path back to the palace/home is hinted as a winding trail through the mountains.
