Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 67
तं दृष्ट्वा दुःखितो व्यासो निराशः पुत्रदर्शने । पुत्रशोकाभिसंतप्तो भार्यया सहितोऽभवत्
taṃ dṛṣṭvā duḥkhito vyāso nirāśaḥ putradarśane | putraśokābhisaṃtapto bhāryayā sahito'bhavat
সেয়া দেখি ব্যাস দুখিত হ’ল, পুত্ৰদৰ্শনৰ আশাহীন হ’ল। পুত্ৰশোকে দগ্ধ হৈ, তেওঁ পত্নীৰ সৈতে একেলগে থাকিল, দুয়ো একে বেদনাত।
Sūta (narrator, implied by continuity)
Scene: Vyāsa and his wife sit together in shared grief—heads bowed, eyes moist—amid an austere hermitage interior; the empty doorway suggests the absent son.
