Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 25
रावणोऽपि स संतुष्टो भूयोभूयो महेश्वरम् । पूजयित्वा च तल्लिंगं समारुह्य च पुष्पकम् । त्रैलोक्यविजयाकांक्षी इष्टं देशं जगाम ह
rāvaṇo'pi sa saṃtuṣṭo bhūyobhūyo maheśvaram | pūjayitvā ca talliṃgaṃ samāruhya ca puṣpakam | trailokyavijayākāṃkṣī iṣṭaṃ deśaṃ jagāma ha
Auch Rāvaṇa, voller Genugtuung, verehrte immer wieder Maheśvara und jenen Liṅga. Dann bestieg er Puṣpaka, den Himmelswagen, und in der Sehnsucht, die drei Welten zu bezwingen, zog er fort an den Ort seiner Wahl.
