Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 54
एवं शोकाकुलं दीनमिंद्रसेनमहीपतेः । नगरं सहसा क्षुब्धं चित्रवर्मपुरं तथा
evaṃ śokākulaṃ dīnamiṃdrasenamahīpateḥ | nagaraṃ sahasā kṣubdhaṃ citravarmapuraṃ tathā
इस प्रकार शोक से व्याकुल और दीन हुए महाराज इन्द्रसेन के कारण चित्रवर्मपुर नगर भी सहसा उद्विग्न होकर अशान्त हो उठा।

Scene: A wide view of Citravarmapura: palace gates crowded, streets in disarray, people running and gathering; the atmosphere feels suddenly ‘shaken’ as if the city itself is disturbed by grief.
