Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 71
ईश्वर उवाच । सर्वत्रैषा भगवती बालानां हितकारिणी । नामभेदैः कालभेदैः क्रियाभेदैश्च पूज्यते
īśvara uvāca | sarvatraiṣā bhagavatī bālānāṃ hitakāriṇī | nāmabhedaiḥ kālabhedaiḥ kriyābhedaiśca pūjyate
Đức Īśvara phán: “Ở khắp mọi nơi, Thánh Mẫu Cát Tường này—đấng làm lợi ích cho trẻ thơ—được tôn thờ dưới nhiều danh xưng, vào nhiều thời điểm khác nhau, và theo những nghi lễ khác nhau.”
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Bhūtamātṛ (as a Devī principle across places)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: Īśvara teaches that the Mother Goddess is worshipped everywhere: a montage-like scene shows different regions offering pūjā to the same Devī under varied names—village shrine, city temple, forest altar—while children are blessed.
