Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 20
न ते देवा न ते लोका न ते नगा न चासुराः । दृश्यन्ते त्रिषु लोकेषु ये तैर्दृष्टैर्न नाशिताः
na te devā na te lokā na te nagā na cāsurāḥ | dṛśyante triṣu lokeṣu ye tairdṛṣṭairna nāśitāḥ
Não se veem, nos três mundos, nem deuses, nem mundos, nem montanhas, nem mesmo asuras, se foram por eles fitados com ira e não destruídos.
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Revā-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (implied)
Scene: Cosmic-scale hyperbole: gods, worlds, mountains, and asuras destroyed by the brāhmaṇas’ wrathful sight—best rendered as an allegorical panorama with a central sage radiating tejas.
