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
โอ้เทวีผู้เป็นเจ้าแห่งเทพ ผู้ใดรู้ดังนี้ซึ่งอักษรสูงสุดอันไม่ทวิภาวะ ผู้นั้นย่อมรู้สิ้นทุกสิ่ง แต่ผู้ใดก่อความแบ่งแยกในความเป็นหนึ่ง ผู้นั้นแลเป็นมนุษย์ต่ำช้า
Śiva (deduced from ‘deveśi’ address and continuity of discourse)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
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.
