Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 99
मातृलाभे सनाथत्वमनाथत्वं विपर्यये । न स शोचति नाप्येनं स्थावर्यमपि कर्षति
mātṛlābhe sanāthatvamanāthatvaṃ viparyaye | na sa śocati nāpyenaṃ sthāvaryamapi karṣati
有母则有护佑；母若不在，便真成无依。母在之时，人不沉于哀伤，纵有厄运逆境，也难轻易将其拖坠。
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), contextually addressing the sages (deduced)
Scene: A mother stands as a protective presence beside her child/son while stormy adversity is shown receding—dark clouds parting, a burden slipping away—illustrating that with mother one does not sink into grief or be dragged by misfortune.
