Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 124
हुंकारेणैव ते दैत्याः स्वमेव नगरं गताः । विस्मृतं सकलं तेषां स्वयंवरमुखं च तत्
huṃkāreṇaiva te daityāḥ svameva nagaraṃ gatāḥ | vismṛtaṃ sakalaṃ teṣāṃ svayaṃvaramukhaṃ ca tat
وبذلك «هُمْ (huṃ)» وحده رجع أولئك الدايتيّون إلى مدينتهم. ونُسِيَ عنهم كلّ شيء، حتى الغاية نفسها من السْوَيَمْوَرَا (svayaṃvara).

Listener: Phālguna (Arjuna)
Scene: A single, thunder-like ‘huṃ’ emanates; daityas turn back as if spellbound, their faces blank with sudden forgetfulness, retreating toward their city gates.
