Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 124
हुंकारेणैव ते दैत्याः स्वमेव नगरं गताः । विस्मृतं सकलं तेषां स्वयंवरमुखं च तत्
huṃkāreṇaiva te daityāḥ svameva nagaraṃ gatāḥ | vismṛtaṃ sakalaṃ teṣāṃ svayaṃvaramukhaṃ ca tat
Hanya oleh bunyi suci “huṃ” itu saja, para Daitya kembali ke kota mereka sendiri. Segala sesuatu terlupakan bagi mereka—bahkan maksud utama svayaṃvara itu.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) narrating to the sages
Listener: Phālguna (Arjuna)
Scene: A single, thunder-like ‘huṃ’ emanates; daityas turn back as if spellbound, their faces blank with sudden forgetfulness, retreating toward their city gates.
