Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 46
अथ तौ चरणौ तस्य तप्त शापोदकप्लुतौ । दग्धौ कृष्णत्वमापन्नौ तत्क्षणाद्द्विजसत्तमाः
atha tau caraṇau tasya tapta śāpodakaplutau | dagdhau kṛṣṇatvamāpannau tatkṣaṇāddvijasattamāḥ
তাৰ পাছত শাপৰ বাবে উত্তপ্ত জলত ভিজা তাৰ দুয়োটা চৰণ দগ্ধ হ’ল আৰু তৎক্ষণাৎ ক’লা হৈ পৰিল, হে দ্বিজসত্তমসকল।
