Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 44
अथांबराद्द्रुतं पेतुर्दिव्याः कुसुमवृष्टयः । प्रणेदुर्देवतूर्याणि देवाश्च ननृतुर्जगुः
athāṃbarāddrutaṃ peturdivyāḥ kusumavṛṣṭayaḥ | praṇedurdevatūryāṇi devāśca nanṛturjaguḥ
Da fielen plötzlich, rasch vom Himmel, Schauer göttlicher Blumen herab. Himmlische Instrumente erklangen, und die Götter tanzten und sangen voll Jubel.
