Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 37
भर्त्रा विनाकृता नाहं नयिष्ये कालसंस्थितिम् । तस्मात्तत्र द्रुतं गच्छ यत्र मे जननी स्थिता
bhartrā vinākṛtā nāhaṃ nayiṣye kālasaṃsthitim | tasmāttatra drutaṃ gaccha yatra me jananī sthitā
স্বামীৰ পৰা বঞ্চিতা হৈ মই জীৱনৰ নিৰ্ধাৰিত গতি আগবঢ়াম নোৱাৰোঁ। সেয়ে সোনকালে সেই ঠাইলৈ যোৱা, য’ত মোৰ জননী অৱস্থিত।
