Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 18
धिग्धिक्कलिप्रिय त्वां च रागे वैराग्यकारकम् । त्वया कृतं सर्वमेतद्विधेस्तस्य तथान्तरम्
dhigdhikkalipriya tvāṃ ca rāge vairāgyakārakam | tvayā kṛtaṃ sarvametadvidhestasya tathāntaram
Celakalah engkau—wahai ‘kali-priya’, kekasih Kali—engkau menumbuhkan vairāgya di tempat yang seharusnya ada rāga dan kasih. Semua ini terjadi oleh perbuatanmu, dan engkau pun mengacaukan titah Sang Pencipta itu.
Devapatnīs (deduced from immediate context: they speak to Nārada)
Scene: A group of divine women, faces stern, point in accusation toward a sage-like figure labeled ‘kali-priya’; the atmosphere is charged—stormy clouds or dark aura behind him—while a faint image of Brahmā’s ordinance (a cosmic scroll or lotus-throne) appears symbolically disrupted.
