Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 113
शोकं च त्यज नैतास्ताः स्वाहै वेयं तव प्रिया । श्वेतपर्वतकुंडस्थं पुत्रं त्वं द्रष्टुमर्हसि । ततो वह्निस्तत्र गत्वा ददृशे तनयं प्रभुम्
śokaṃ ca tyaja naitāstāḥ svāhai veyaṃ tava priyā | śvetaparvatakuṃḍasthaṃ putraṃ tvaṃ draṣṭumarhasi | tato vahnistatra gatvā dadṛśe tanayaṃ prabhum
«Abandonne ton chagrin : celles-ci ne sont pas tes épouses ; voici Svāhā, ta bien-aimée. Va et contemple ton fils, qui demeure dans l’étang de Śvetaparvata.» Alors Agni s’y rendit et vit son fils, le Seigneur.
