Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 73
यंयं पश्यामि तत्राहं भ्रममाणो महावने । वृक्षं वा प्राणिनो वापि तंतं पृच्छामि मोहतः
yaṃyaṃ paśyāmi tatrāhaṃ bhramamāṇo mahāvane | vṛkṣaṃ vā prāṇino vāpi taṃtaṃ pṛcchāmi mohataḥ
Umherirrend in jenem großen Wald fragte ich, wen oder was immer ich sah—sei es Baum oder lebendes Wesen—jeden einzelnen in meiner Verblendung.
