Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 81
विरराम यदा नैव वज्रांगमहिषी तदा । शैलस्य दुष्टतां मत्वा शापं दातुं व्यवस्यत
virarāma yadā naiva vajrāṃgamahiṣī tadā | śailasya duṣṭatāṃ matvā śāpaṃ dātuṃ vyavasyata
যেতিয়া বজ্ৰাঙ্গৰ মহিষী নৈব বিৰাম নিলে, তেতিয়া শৈলৰ আচৰণ দুষ্ট বুলি বুজি তাই শাপ দিবলৈ সংকল্প কৰিলে।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The tapasvinī, still composed yet now stern, turns toward the unseen tormentor; her right hand lifts in a poised gesture of imprecation; the atmosphere tightens as if nature itself pauses before the utterance.
