Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 16
गुरूणामवमंता यचो महाज्वाले निपात्यते । लवणं शास्त्रहंता च निर्मर्यादो विमोहके
gurūṇāmavamaṃtā yaco mahājvāle nipātyate | lavaṇaṃ śāstrahaṃtā ca nirmaryādo vimohake
جو گروؤں کی بے ادبی کرے وہ مہاجوالا میں پھینکا جاتا ہے۔ شاستروں کو مٹانے والا لَوَن میں جاتا ہے؛ اور جو بے حد و مرز، بے قاعدہ ہو وہ وِموہک میں گرتا ہے۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narrative convention)
Listener: Sages/seekers
Scene: Three punishments visualized: Mahājvāla as a towering inferno swallowing a guru-insulter; Lavaṇa as a blinding salt-desert/caustic brine tormenting a scripture-destroyer; Vimohaka as a foggy labyrinth of delusion where the lawless wander without direction, chased by yamadūtas.
