Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 159
सा तत्रैव महोद्याने रमते सखिसंयुता । हिंडोलके समारूढा वसंते मासि भामिनि
sā tatraiva mahodyāne ramate sakhisaṃyutā | hiṃḍolake samārūḍhā vasaṃte māsi bhāmini
সেখানেই মহোদ্যানে সে সখীদের সঙ্গে ক্রীড়ায় মগ্ন হয়ে রইল। বসন্তমাসে সেই সুন্দরী দোলনায় আরূঢ় হয়ে আনন্দে বিভোর হল।
