Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 38
भ्रमंति च कलौ लोका गगनासक्तदृष्टयः । जानाति चापि तनयः पिता चेन्निधनं व्रजेत्
bhramaṃti ca kalau lokā gaganāsaktadṛṣṭayaḥ | jānāti cāpi tanayaḥ pitā cennidhanaṃ vrajet
কলিযুগত লোকসকল আকাশলৈ দৃষ্টি আঁকৰি অস্থিৰভাৱে ঘূৰি ফুৰে। আৰু পিতাই যদি মৃত্যুলৈ যায়, তেন্তে পুত্ৰেও মনতে সেই কথা আগতেই ভাবি জানে।

Type: kshetra
Scene: People wandering aimlessly, faces tilted to the sky as if seeking omens; a son watches an aging father with calculating eyes; a temple spire anchors the horizon.
