Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 6
गेहिनो हेलया जिग्युर्दस्यून्दूर्ग पतिर्यथा । न केऽपि प्रभवस्तां चाप्यनुकर्तुं गृहेश्वरीम्
gehino helayā jigyurdasyūndūrga patiryathā | na ke'pi prabhavastāṃ cāpyanukartuṃ gṛheśvarīm
Os chefes de família vencem as dificuldades com facilidade, como o senhor de uma fortaleza derrota os salteadores. Contudo, ninguém possui de fato o poder de imitar essa senhora do lar (gṛheśvarī) em seu papel de sustento e preservação.
Daityendra/Vajrāṅga (continued reflection; implied)
Scene: A fortified city/house as a ‘durgā’; the householder as vigilant guardian; bandit-like troubles repelled; at the center, the gṛheśvarī calmly sustaining the home—symbolizing the unseen strength that cannot be imitated.
