Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 29
जातः क्रोधवशायाश्च इराया भूरुहाः स्मृताः । कद्रूसुताः स्मृता नागा मुनेरप्सरसां गणाः
jātaḥ krodhavaśāyāśca irāyā bhūruhāḥ smṛtāḥ | kadrūsutāḥ smṛtā nāgā munerapsarasāṃ gaṇāḥ
From Krodhavaśā were born certain beings; from Irā are remembered the plants and trees. The Nāgas are remembered as the sons of Kadru; and from Muni came hosts of Apsarases.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: Irā as a green-hued mother-goddess from whom trees and vines emerge; Kadru as a dark, serpentine-associated mother with nāgas coiling around; Muni as a serene ascetic-mother figure with apsarases appearing as luminous dancers in the sky.
