Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 71
एवं यो वेद देवेशि अद्वैतं परमाक्षरम् । स सर्वं वेद नैवान्यो भेदकर्त्ता नराधमः
evaṃ yo veda deveśi advaitaṃ paramākṣaram | sa sarvaṃ veda naivānyo bhedakarttā narādhamaḥ
தேவேசி, இவ்வாறு அத்வைதமான பரம அக்ஷரத்தை அறிந்தவன் அனைத்தையும் அறிந்தவனே. ஒன்றில் வேறுபாடு செய்பவன் நராதமன் எனப்படுவான்.

Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: The Lord instructs Devī with a raised hand of assurance (abhaya/teaching gesture); behind them, a split mirror or fractured idol motif symbolizes ‘bheda-kartṛ’ error, while a single unbroken light symbolizes advaita.
