Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 34
ततः संप्राप्स्यसि फलं तेषां नाशसमुद्रवम् । महद्दुःखं स्वपुत्रोत्थं मम शापेन पीडिता
tataḥ saṃprāpsyasi phalaṃ teṣāṃ nāśasamudravam | mahadduḥkhaṃ svaputrotthaṃ mama śāpena pīḍitā
“তখন সেই শাপের ফল তুমি পাবে—তাদের জন্য বিনাশের প্রবল ঢেউ, আর আমার শাপে পীড়িত হয়ে নিজের পুত্র থেকেই উদ্ভূত মহাদুঃখ।”
Revatī (continuing her account of the curse’s wording/effects)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Sureśvarī)
Scene: Revatī describes the curse’s fruit: waves of destruction and the piercing sorrow caused by one’s own son; the Devī listens with grave compassion.
