Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 29
तस्यास्तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा स्वप्नावस्थाकृतो हृषिः । अन्तर्हितो मुहूर्तं च शाण्डिल्याश्च प्रपश्य ताम्
tasyāstadvacanaṃ śrutvā svapnāvasthākṛto hṛṣiḥ | antarhito muhūrtaṃ ca śāṇḍilyāśca prapaśya tām
Ayant entendu ses paroles, le ṛṣi—comme placé dans un état de songe—fut saisi de joie ; et, l’espace d’un instant, il disparut aux regards, tandis que Śāṇḍilyā le contemplait.
