Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29
ततः प्रभाते विमले प्रोद्गते रविमंडले । यावत्पश्यति शूद्रः स तावत्तत्र न किञ्चन
tataḥ prabhāte vimale prodgate ravimaṃḍale | yāvatpaśyati śūdraḥ sa tāvattatra na kiñcana
Then, at the clear and spotless dawn, when the orb of the sun had risen, as long as that Śūdra looked about, he saw nothing at all there.
