Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 5
मन्त्रिभिः सहितस्तस्मिंस्तडागे जलसन्निधौ । न चिह्नं न च पन्थानं दृष्ट्वा दुःखान्मुमोह च
mantribhiḥ sahitastasmiṃstaḍāge jalasannidhau | na cihnaṃ na ca panthānaṃ dṛṣṭvā duḥkhānmumoha ca
মন্ত্ৰীসকলৰ সৈতে তেওঁ সেই পুখুৰীৰ জল-সন্নিধিত উপস্থিত হ’ল। কোনো চিহ্ন নেদেখি, কোনো পথ নাপাই, দুখত মূৰ্ছা গ’ল।
