Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 39
न मया कुकृतं किंचित्कदाचित्समनुष्ठितम् । तत्किं राज्यपरिभ्रंशो जातोऽयं मम सन्मुने
na mayā kukṛtaṃ kiṃcitkadācitsamanuṣṭhitam | tatkiṃ rājyaparibhraṃśo jāto'yaṃ mama sanmune
મેં ક્યારેય કોઈ કુકૃત્ય કર્યું નથી. તો પછી, હે સન્મુને, મારા રાજ્યમાંથી આ પતન કેમ થયું?
Unspecified petitioner/king (contextual; speaking to a sage)
Scene: A dethroned king—crown absent, hair unkempt—addresses the sage with folded hands; a faint silhouette of a palace in the distance contrasts with the austere āśrama.
