Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 142
शिवशक्तिमयं ह्येतत्प्रत्यक्षं दृश्यते जगत् । लिंगांकं च भगांकं च नान्यदेवांकितं क्वचित्
śivaśaktimayaṃ hyetatpratyakṣaṃ dṛśyate jagat | liṃgāṃkaṃ ca bhagāṃkaṃ ca nānyadevāṃkitaṃ kvacit
Ang mundong ito na tuwirang nakikita sa harap ng ating mga mata ay puspos ng Śiva at Śakti. Sa lahat ng dako ay may tatak ng Liṅga at Bhaga (yoni); wala ni saanman ang tanda ng ibang diyos.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration context)
Type: kshetra
Listener: devotees / śiva-vratins
Scene: A cosmic vision: the universe as a vast mandala where mountains, rivers, and beings subtly form the liṅga and yoni motifs, indicating Śiva-Śakti pervasion; no other deity-mark dominates the field.
