Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 14
कैलासं पर्वतश्रेष्ठं जगाम सुरपूजितः । दग्धे मनोभवे भार्या रतिरस्य पतिव्रता । व्यलपत्करुणं दीना पतिशोकपरि प्लुता
kailāsaṃ parvataśreṣṭhaṃ jagāma surapūjitaḥ | dagdhe manobhave bhāryā ratirasya pativratā | vyalapatkaruṇaṃ dīnā patiśokapari plutā
দেবগণের পূজিত তিনি কৈলাস—পর্বতশ্রেষ্ঠে—গমন করলেন। মনোভব (কাম) দগ্ধ হলে, তার পতিব্রতা স্ত্রী রতি দীন হয়ে, স্বামিশোকে প্লাবিত, করুণ বিলাপ করতে লাগল।
