Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 110
नाद्रीणां न समुद्राणां न द्रुमाणां महीयसाम् । भूतधात्र्यास्तथा भारो यथा स्वामिद्रुहां महान्
nādrīṇāṃ na samudrāṇāṃ na drumāṇāṃ mahīyasām | bhūtadhātryāstathā bhāro yathā svāmidruhāṃ mahān
មិនមែនភ្នំទាំងឡាយ មិនមែនសមុទ្រទាំងឡាយ ហើយក៏មិនមែនដើមឈើធំៗទាំងឡាយទេ ដែលធ្វើឲ្យព្រះធរណី មាតាអ្នកចិញ្ចឹមសត្វលោក មានទម្ងន់ធ្ងន់ដូចភារកិច្ចដ៏មហិមារបស់អ្នកក្បត់ម្ចាស់របស់ខ្លួន។
Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa dialogue context)
Scene: Bhūdevī (Earth) personified, steady yet strained, while mountains, oceans, and great trees appear light; a dark, oppressive shadow labeled ‘svāmi-droha’ presses upon her, contrasted with a small lamp of dharma.
