Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 81
विरराम यदा नैव वज्रांगमहिषी तदा । शैलस्य दुष्टतां मत्वा शापं दातुं व्यवस्यत
virarāma yadā naiva vajrāṃgamahiṣī tadā | śailasya duṣṭatāṃ matvā śāpaṃ dātuṃ vyavasyata
Cuando la consorte de Vajrāṅga no cesó en su observancia, juzgando perversa la conducta de Śaila, resolvió pronunciar una maldición.
