Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 57
याज्ञवल्क्य वरं ब्रूहि यत्ते मनसि रोचते । सर्वमेव प्रदास्यामि नादेयं विद्यते त्वयि
yājñavalkya varaṃ brūhi yatte manasi rocate | sarvameva pradāsyāmi nādeyaṃ vidyate tvayi
யாஜ்ஞவல்க்யா! உன் மனத்திற்கு இனிய வரத்தைச் சொல். அனைத்தையும் நான் அளிப்பேன்; உனக்குத் தரமுடியாதது எதுவும் இல்லை.
Bhāskara (Sūrya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Bhāskara, now approachable, addresses Yājñavalkya by name, offering any boon; the sage listens with folded hands, the kuṇḍa shimmering beside them.
