Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 101
स्थातुं तत्र न शक्तास्ते विभीषणभयेन च । पृथिव्यां समनुप्राप्ताः स्थानान्यपि बहूनि च
sthātuṃ tatra na śaktāste vibhīṣaṇabhayena ca | pṛthivyāṃ samanuprāptāḥ sthānānyapi bahūni ca
তারা সেখানে থাকতে সক্ষম হল না, বিভীষণের ভয়ে; পৃথিবীতে নেমে এসে আরও বহু স্থানে পৌঁছাল।
