Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 76
अध्येष्यामि हरेर्ज्ञानं संसारविनिवर्तनम् । एवं संचिंतयन्नास्ते मोक्षोपायं विचिन्तयन्
adhyeṣyāmi harerjñānaṃ saṃsāravinivartanam | evaṃ saṃciṃtayannāste mokṣopāyaṃ vicintayan
சம்சாரத்திலிருந்து மீளச் செய்யும் ஹரியின் மோட்சமளிக்கும் ஞானத்தை நான் பயில்வேன். இவ்வாறு எண்ணி, மோட்சத்தின் வழியைத் தியானித்து அவன் அங்கேயே லயித்திருப்பான்.

Scene: A contemplative seeker seated in solitude, holding a palm-leaf manuscript, inwardly absorbed in the liberating knowledge of Hari; the world’s bustle fades behind him as he reflects on mokṣa-upāya.
