Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 52
ततो व्रीडा समोपेतस्तत्क्षणादेव चोत्थितः । भावासक्तां प्रियां त्यक्त्वा मा मोत्तिष्ठेतिवादिनीम्
tato vrīḍā samopetastatkṣaṇādeva cotthitaḥ | bhāvāsaktāṃ priyāṃ tyaktvā mā mottiṣṭhetivādinīm
তখন লজ্জায় আচ্ছন্ন হয়ে তিনি সেই মুহূর্তেই উঠে দাঁড়ালেন; স্নেহে আসক্ত প্রিয়াকে ত্যাগ করে, যে বলছিল—“উঠো না।”
