Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 14
ईश्वर उवाच । मनसा चिन्तयित्वैवं कृष्णो नारदमब्रवीत् । नह्यहं श्रद्दधाम्येतद्यदेतद्भाषितं पुरा
īśvara uvāca | manasā cintayitvaivaṃ kṛṣṇo nāradamabravīt | nahyahaṃ śraddadhāmyetadyadetadbhāṣitaṃ purā
O Senhor disse: Tendo assim ponderado em sua mente, Kṛṣṇa falou a Nārada: “Não aceito como digno de crédito o que desde outrora foi dito desse modo.”
Īśvara (Kṛṣṇa/Keśava)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Purāṇic audience; within the scene, Nārada is the listener to Kṛṣṇa
Scene: Kṛṣṇa, contemplative, turns to Nārada with calm firmness; Nārada stands with vīṇā, attentive. The sea breeze and a distant temple spire frame a serene yet charged exchange.
