Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 17
तथेति ते प्रतिज्ञाय रात्रौ गत्वा स्वकं गृहम् । परित्यज्य उभे ते तु क्रोधमूर्छितमूर्छिते
tatheti te pratijñāya rātrau gatvā svakaṃ gṛham | parityajya ubhe te tu krodhamūrchitamūrchite
Sambil berkata, “Demikianlah,” mereka berikrar; pada malam hari mereka pulang ke rumah sendiri. Keduanya diliputi amarah hingga seakan pingsan.
