Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 27
अत्याहितं तदस्तीह तदागोद्वयदर्शनात् । पितुः कोपोपि सुश्लाघ्यो मयि नो ब्राह्मणस्य तु
atyāhitaṃ tadastīha tadāgodvayadarśanāt | pituḥ kopopi suślāghyo mayi no brāhmaṇasya tu
এই বিষয়ত ইয়াত মহা বিপদ আছে—সেই লক্ষণ, গাইৰ জোৰাৰ দৰ্শনত মই বুজিলোঁ। পিতাৰ ক্ৰোধো সহিব পাৰোঁ; কিন্তু মোৰ ওপৰত কোনো ব্ৰাহ্মণৰ ক্ৰোধ সহ্য নহয়।
