Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 18
न पिता न च ते माता न भ्राता स्वजनोऽपि च । पश्यते तव वार्तां च अस्पृश्यस्त्वमदन्विषम्
na pitā na ca te mātā na bhrātā svajano'pi ca | paśyate tava vārtāṃ ca aspṛśyastvamadanviṣam
உன் தந்தையும் அல்ல, தாயும் அல்ல, சகோதரனும் அல்ல, சொந்தங்களும் அல்ல—யாரும் உன்னை நோக்கமாட்டார்கள், உன் செய்தியையும் விசாரிக்கமாட்டார்கள்; நீ அஸ்பிருஷ்யனாகிறாய், எவரும் எடுத்துக்கொள்ளாத விஷம்போல்.
Śiva (deduced from admonitory tone continuing across verses)
Scene: A lone figure stands outside a household threshold; family members avert their gaze and step back; a stylized serpent/poison motif hovers near the fallen person, symbolizing ‘viṣam’.
