Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 39
क्रीडासक्ता तदा देवी ददर्शाथ महासती । यज्ञं प्रयांतं सोमं च रोहिण्या सहितं प्रभुम्
krīḍāsaktā tadā devī dadarśātha mahāsatī | yajñaṃ prayāṃtaṃ somaṃ ca rohiṇyā sahitaṃ prabhum
کھیل میں محو اس مہاسَتی دیوی نے تب پربھو سوم کو یَجْن کی طرف جاتے دیکھا، جو روہِنی کے ساتھ تھا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating
Scene: Devī pauses mid-play, gaze turning outward; in the sky-path below, Soma shines cool-white, moving toward a yajña, with Rohiṇī beside him—an elegant celestial procession hinting at an unseen sacrificial arena.

The Kedārakhaṇḍa sacred setting frames the story; this verse specifically points to the yajña destination rather than a named tīrtha.
None directly; it notes Soma’s movement toward the yajña.
