Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 10
विघ्निता विघ्नराजेन ते यास्यंति महत्तमः । तेषां गृहेषु कलहः सदा नैवोपसाम्यति
vighnitā vighnarājena te yāsyaṃti mahattamaḥ | teṣāṃ gṛheṣu kalahaḥ sadā naivopasāmyati
โอ้ผู้ประเสริฐยิ่ง ผู้ใดถูกวิฆนราชา (เจ้าแห่งอุปสรรค) ขัดขวาง ผู้นั้นย่อมถึงความพินาศ; และในเรือนของเขา ความวิวาทไม่เคยสงบจริง หากดำรงอยู่เสมอ
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Listener: Girijā (Pārvatī)
Scene: The prophecy depicts the tangible fallout of being ‘vighnita’ by Vighnarāja: downfall and unending quarrel within the home—an ethical caution embedded in divine speech.
