Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 41
क्षुन्निद्रा त्वं तृषा त्वं च क्रोधतंद्रादयस्तथा । त्वं शांतिस्त्वं रतिश्चैव त्वं जया विजया तथा
kṣunnidrā tvaṃ tṛṣā tvaṃ ca krodhataṃdrādayastathā | tvaṃ śāṃtistvaṃ ratiścaiva tvaṃ jayā vijayā tathā
تو ہی بھوک ہے، تو ہی نیند؛ تو ہی پیاس بھی ہے؛ اور اسی طرح غصہ، سستی وغیرہ بھی تو ہی ہے۔ تو ہی شانتی ہے، تو ہی رتی (سرور)؛ تو ہی جَے ہے اور تو ہی وِجے بھی۔

Scene: A visionary tableau: the Devī’s form expands into a cosmic mandala where human states appear as personified motifs—hunger as a flame in the belly, sleep as a soft veil, thirst as a parched riverbed, anger as red lightning, sloth as heavy dusk; peace as cool moonlight, delight as blossoming lotuses, victory as a banner—each emanating from her.
