Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 92
पतिश्च तादृक्सर्वज्ञो लोकचक्षुस्तमोपहः । सर्वेषां कर्मणां साक्षी सर्वः सर्वत्रसंचरः
patiśca tādṛksarvajño lokacakṣustamopahaḥ | sarveṣāṃ karmaṇāṃ sākṣī sarvaḥ sarvatrasaṃcaraḥ
وہی پروردگار ایسا ہی ہے—سب کچھ جاننے والا، جہانوں کی آنکھ، تاریکی کو دور کرنے والا؛ سب کے اعمال کا گواہ، ہمہ گیر، ہر جگہ گردش کرنے والا۔
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya ṛṣis (frame)
Scene: A contemplative hymn-like tableau: the Lord as cosmic eye, radiating light that dissolves darkness; devotees in Kāśī stand near ghāṭs with lamps, while a subtle ‘all-seeing’ presence pervades sky and river.
