Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 83
ततः सा यौवनं प्राप्ता साक्षाद्देवसुतोपमा । स्वमुखं दर्पणे वीक्ष्यस्मृतः पूर्वो भवस्तया
tataḥ sā yauvanaṃ prāptā sākṣāddevasutopamā | svamukhaṃ darpaṇe vīkṣyasmṛtaḥ pūrvo bhavastayā
پھر وہ جوانی کو پہنچی، گویا ساکھات دیوی کنیا کے مانند۔ آئینے میں اپنا چہرہ دیکھ کر اسے اپنی سابقہ ہستی یاد آ گئی۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa default)
Scene: A young woman of divine beauty stands before a polished mirror; her body is radiant, yet her face bears the goat-like mark. In the instant of seeing, her eyes shift from shock to inward remembrance, as if a past-life scene flashes behind her.
