Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 27
यथा भागवतं शास्त्रं तथा भागवतो नरः । उभयोरंतरं नास्ति हरहर्योस्तथैव च
yathā bhāgavataṃ śāstraṃ tathā bhāgavato naraḥ | ubhayoraṃtaraṃ nāsti haraharyostathaiva ca
جیسا بھاگوت شاستر ہے ویسا ہی بھاگوت بھکت ہے؛ دونوں میں کوئی فرق نہیں۔ اسی طرح ہَر (شیو) اور ہَری (وشنو) میں بھی کوئی بھید نہیں۔
Skanda (deduced from Dvārakā Māhātmya narration style within Skanda Purāṇa)
Scene: A serene assembly where a Bhāgavata devotee is shown radiating the same aura as a sacred manuscript; behind them, Śiva and Viṣṇu appear as a single unified form or as two deities sharing one halo, indicating Hari-Hara aikya.
