Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 18
येषामथ कृतं सज्जं कुम्भीपाकं सुदारुणम् । रौरवः शाल्मलिर्देव दृष्ट्वा तान्दिवि संस्थितान् । वैलक्ष्यं परमं गत्वा व्यापारं त्यक्तवानसौ
yeṣāmatha kṛtaṃ sajjaṃ kumbhīpākaṃ sudāruṇam | rauravaḥ śālmalirdeva dṛṣṭvā tāndivi saṃsthitān | vailakṣyaṃ paramaṃ gatvā vyāpāraṃ tyaktavānasau
恐るべき地獄――クンビー・パーカ、ラウラヴァ、シャールマリー――が彼らのために整えられていたのに、ダルマラージャ（おお主）は、彼らがかえって天界に安住しているのを見た。極みの羞恥に至り、彼は自らの職分さえ捨て去った。
