Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 6
ततः स ब्राह्मणः कोपं चक्रे वैवस्वतोपरि । धर्मराजगृहं प्राप्तं दृष्ट्वा निजकुमारकम्
tataḥ sa brāhmaṇaḥ kopaṃ cakre vaivasvatopari | dharmarājagṛhaṃ prāptaṃ dṛṣṭvā nijakumārakam
তেতিয়া সেই ব্ৰাহ্মণে বৈৱস্বত যমৰ ওপৰত ক্ৰোধ কৰিলে। ধৰ্মৰাজৰ গৃহত নিজৰ সৰু পুত্ৰক আনা দেখিয়েই তেওঁ ৰোষে আচ্ছন্ন হ’ল।
Sūta
