Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 19
मया त्वं कामसक्तेन समानीता सुमोहतः । तस्मात्कुरु प्रसादं मे शापस्यांतो यथा भवेत्
mayā tvaṃ kāmasaktena samānītā sumohataḥ | tasmātkuru prasādaṃ me śāpasyāṃto yathā bhavet
কামাসক্ত ও ঘোর মোহগ্রস্ত হয়ে আমি তোমাকে এখানে এনেছি; অতএব আমার প্রতি প্রসন্ন হও, যাতে শাপের অবসান হয়।
Takṣaka
Listener: The brāhmaṇa’s daughter
Scene: Takṣaka speaks with bowed head, hands still folded, expressing remorse; the maiden listens, sternness easing into compassionate firmness.
