Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 46
सूत उवाच । तच्छ्रुत्वा तुष्टिमापन्नस्ततो निंबशुचो मुनिः । तथेति चैवमुक्त्वा तं प्रेषयामास तत्क्षणात्
sūta uvāca | tacchrutvā tuṣṭimāpannastato niṃbaśuco muniḥ | tatheti caivamuktvā taṃ preṣayāmāsa tatkṣaṇāt
সূত বললেন— এ কথা শুনে মুনি নিম্বশুচ সন্তুষ্ট হলেন। “তথাস্তु” বলে তিনি সেই মুহূর্তেই তাকে বিদায় দিলেন।
