Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 13
स एवमन्धकस्तत्र कियन्तं कालमावसत् । हृष्टस्तुष्टो वसन्मर्त्ये स सुरैर्नाभ्यभूयत
sa evamandhakastatra kiyantaṃ kālamāvasat | hṛṣṭastuṣṭo vasanmartye sa surairnābhyabhūyata
এইদৰে অন্ধক তাত বহুদিন বাস কৰিলে, মৰ্ত্যলোকে হৃষ্ট আৰু তুষ্ট হৈ। আৰু দেৱতাসকলেও তাক দমন কৰি পৰাভূত কৰিব নোৱাৰিলে।
