Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 49
अथ सा भृत्यवर्गेण नीयमाना च नंदिनी । हन्यमाना प्रहारैश्च पाषाणैर्लकुटैरपि
atha sā bhṛtyavargeṇa nīyamānā ca naṃdinī | hanyamānā prahāraiśca pāṣāṇairlakuṭairapi
তখন ভৃত্যদলের দ্বারা টেনে নিয়ে যাওয়া নন্দিনী আঘাতে আঘাতে পীড়িত হল; পাথর ও লাঠি দিয়েও তাকে মারা হল।
Narrator (contextual)
Scene: Servants drag Nandinī by ropes; stones and clubs are raised; the cow’s divine radiance contrasts with the brutality, while the hermitage background witnesses the violation.
