Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 109
पार्वत्या च तदा दृष्टो हिमवान्गिरिभिः सह । अभ्युत्थानपरा साध्वी प्रणम्य शिरसा तदा । पितरौ च तदा भ्रातॄन्बंधूंश्चैव च सर्वशः
pārvatyā ca tadā dṛṣṭo himavāngiribhiḥ saha | abhyutthānaparā sādhvī praṇamya śirasā tadā | pitarau ca tadā bhrātṝnbaṃdhūṃścaiva ca sarvaśaḥ
Alors Pārvatī vit Himavān avec les montagnes. La dame vertueuse, prête à se lever par respect, inclina la tête et, en cet instant, rendit hommage à ses parents, à ses frères et à tous ses proches, de toute manière.
