Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 73
यंयं पश्यामि तत्राहं भ्रममाणो महावने । वृक्षं वा प्राणिनो वापि तंतं पृच्छामि मोहतः
yaṃyaṃ paśyāmi tatrāhaṃ bhramamāṇo mahāvane | vṛkṣaṃ vā prāṇino vāpi taṃtaṃ pṛcchāmi mohataḥ
وأنا أهيم في تلك الغابة العظيمة، كلَّ من رأيتُه—أكان شجرةً أم كائنًا حيًّا—كنتُ أسأله واحدًا بعد واحدٍ من فرط وَهْمي.
