Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 18
ततः प्रभासमासाद्य यत्र तौ दैत्यपुंगवौ । ब्रह्मघ्रौ पापनिरतौ ददर्श स महामुनिः
tataḥ prabhāsamāsādya yatra tau daityapuṃgavau | brahmaghrau pāpaniratau dadarśa sa mahāmuniḥ
Puis, parvenu à Prabhāsa, le champ sacré, le grand sage y vit ces deux-là, les plus éminents des Dānavas : meurtriers de brāhmaṇas, sans cesse voués au péché.
