Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 19
अथ रुद्रः समुत्थाय कृतवान्गौरवं बहु । ततो यथोचितां पूजां न दक्षो बहु मन्यते
atha rudraḥ samutthāya kṛtavāngauravaṃ bahu | tato yathocitāṃ pūjāṃ na dakṣo bahu manyate
Da erhob sich Rudra und erwies ihm große Ehre. Doch Dakṣa schätzte die ehrerbietige Verehrung, die in rechter Weise dargebracht wurde, nicht.
