Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 87
एषोऽपि मुनिशार्दूलो विपाप्मा सांप्रतं शुभे । शूलवेधेन निर्मुक्तः सुखभागी भवत्क्लम
eṣo'pi muniśārdūlo vipāpmā sāṃprataṃ śubhe | śūlavedhena nirmuktaḥ sukhabhāgī bhavatklama
హే శుభే, ఈ మునిశార్దూలుడు కూడా ఇప్పుడు పాపరహితుడు; శూలవేధం నుండి విముక్తుడై సుఖభాగి అవుతాడు, నీ కష్టమూ తొలగిపోతుంది.
Vibudhāḥ (the gods/divine beings), as narrated by Sūta
Scene: The sage, once tormented by spear-like pain, stands serene and purified; the wife’s hardship ends. The spear motif dissolves—either literally withdrawn or symbolically shattered—signaling healing and peace.
