Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 6
यतोयतो ब्रह्महणं याति यानेन शोभनम् । दिशो भागं सुरैः सार्द्धं ततो हत्या न मुञ्चति
yatoyato brahmahaṇaṃ yāti yānena śobhanam | diśo bhāgaṃ suraiḥ sārddhaṃ tato hatyā na muñcati
Où que se rendît le brahmahaṇ, meurtrier d’un brahmane, sur son char splendide—avec les dieux vers les directions de l’espace—Brahmahatyā ne le quittait point.
Mārkaṇḍeya
Scene: A radiant chariot traverses the quarters of space; a dark, clinging personified Brahmahatyā shadows the traveler, refusing to fall away despite divine company.
