Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 3
मनुष्योरगरक्षांसि वीरुधो वृक्षसंयुताः । सप्तर्षयो ध्रुवाद्याश्च ये चान्ये गगनेचराः
manuṣyoragarakṣāṃsi vīrudho vṛkṣasaṃyutāḥ | saptarṣayo dhruvādyāśca ye cānye gaganecarāḥ
মানুষ, নাগ ও রাক্ষসের উৎপত্তি হল; লতা-সহ বৃক্ষ ও উদ্ভিদও প্রকাশ পেল। সপ্তর্ষি, ধ্রুব প্রভৃতি এবং আকাশচারী অন্যান্য সকল সত্তাও জন্ম নিল।
Sūta (contextual continuation)
Scene: A panoramic cosmogenesis tableau: from a luminous source emerge humans, nāgas, rākṣasas, and the vegetal world; above, the Saptaṛṣi constellation and Dhruva shine as fixed anchors while other sky-moving beings traverse the firmament.
