Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 36
क्षेमंकरीति विख्याता रूपयौवनशालिनी । त्वया सार्धं बहून्भोगान्भुक्त्वाऽथ पृथिवीतले । परलोके पुनस्त्वां वै चानुयास्यति शोभना
kṣemaṃkarīti vikhyātā rūpayauvanaśālinī | tvayā sārdhaṃ bahūnbhogānbhuktvā'tha pṛthivītale | paraloke punastvāṃ vai cānuyāsyati śobhanā
সে ‘ক্ষেমংকরী’ নামে খ্যাত, রূপ-যৌবনে সমৃদ্ধ হবে; পৃথিবীতে তোমার সঙ্গে বহু ভোগ ভোগ করে, পরলোকে আবার সেই শোভনা তোমার অনুসরণ করবে।
Bhaṭṭikā
Listener: Takṣaka
Scene: Kṣemaṃkarī—radiant, youthful—shares a prosperous married life with Takṣaka on earth; later, a luminous transition scene shows her following him into the next world.
