Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 28
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा भीता सा जनकोद्भवा । उवाच वेपमानांगी प्रस्खलंत्या गिरा ततः
tasya tadvacanaṃ śrutvā bhītā sā janakodbhavā | uvāca vepamānāṃgī praskhalaṃtyā girā tataḥ
Al oír sus palabras, la hija de Janaka se llenó de temor; temblando en sus miembros, habló entonces con voz vacilante y entrecortada.
