Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 12
अनुविद्धा सिता चैव ईर्ष्या हिंसा तथा परा । माया निष्कृतिसंयुक्ता दक्षः पूर्वं महामतिः
anuviddhā sitā caiva īrṣyā hiṃsā tathā parā | māyā niṣkṛtisaṃyuktā dakṣaḥ pūrvaṃ mahāmatiḥ
اور اَنووِدّھا اور سیتا بھی؛ اور اِیرشیا، ہِمسا اور پَرا؛ نیز مایا جو نِشکرتی کے ساتھ وابستہ ہے—یہ نام بیان کیے گئے۔ قدیم زمانے میں دَکش عظیم خرد والا تھا۔
Sūta (deduced from Purāṇic māhātmya narration style within Prabhāsakhaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (varānane)
Scene: An allegorical procession of personified qualities: Īrṣyā with greenish gaze, Hiṃsā with a weapon lowered in shame, Parā as a transcendent luminous figure, Māyā veiled with shimmering patterns, Niṣkṛti holding a water-pot and kusa grass—standing near Dakṣa, who is praised as ‘mahāmati’ in a retrospective frame.
