Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 89

nābhukte mayi bhuktāsi nidrāṃ nā'nidrite gatā | na saubhāgyasya garveṇa mamājñā laṃghitā kvacit
“હું ન ખાઉં ત્યાં સુધી તું કદી ભોજન ન કરતી; હું જાગતો હોઉં ત્યારે તું નિદ્રાએ ન જતી. સૌભાગ્યના ગર્વથી પણ તું કદી મારી આજ્ઞા લંઘી નથી।”
Anarta-adhipati (the king; husband of Damayantī, lamenting)
Scene: A montage-like recollection: the queen waiting to eat until the king eats; lamps at night as she stays awake; the king narrating with grief-softened gaze.
