Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 35
महान्तं च कलिं दृष्ट्वा संतोषः परमोऽभवत् । देवदानवयोस्तत्र युद्धं त्यक्त्वा च नारदः
mahāntaṃ ca kaliṃ dṛṣṭvā saṃtoṣaḥ paramo'bhavat | devadānavayostatra yuddhaṃ tyaktvā ca nāradaḥ
Melihat pertikaian itu telah menjadi sangat besar, Nārada merasakan kepuasan tertinggi; lalu meninggalkan pertempuran antara para Dewa dan Dānava di sana, ia pun pergi.
