Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 29
ततः सा रामवाक्येन गतसत्त्वेव विह्वला । उदरं करयुग्मेन ताडयन्ती ह्युवाच तम्
tataḥ sā rāmavākyena gatasattveva vihvalā | udaraṃ karayugmena tāḍayantī hyuvāca tam
তেতিয়া ৰামৰ বাক্য শুনি তাই যেন প্ৰাণহীন হৈ বিমূঢ় হ’ল; কঁপনি উঠি দুহাতে উদৰ পিটাই পিটাই তাক ক’লে।
