Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 77
याति मज्जेदधौ पंके गोमये वा न जीवति । केशांगारैस्तथा भस्मभुजंगैर्निजलां नदीम्
yāti majjedadhau paṃke gomaye vā na jīvati | keśāṃgāraistathā bhasmabhujaṃgairnijalāṃ nadīm
បើក្នុងសុបិន មនុស្សម្នាក់ទៅហើយលិចក្នុងទឹកដោះគោជូរ ក្នុងភក់ ឬក្នុងលាមកគោ គេនោះមិនរស់រានទេ។ ដូចគ្នានេះផងដែរ បើឃើញទន្លេមួយដែលទឹកមិនមែនជាទឹកពិត បំពេញដោយសក់ អង្ការភ្លើង និងពស់ធ្វើពីផេះ នោះក៏ជានិមិត្តមរណៈ។
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) addressing the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration style)
Scene: A nightmare sequence: the dreamer sinks into curd, mire, or cow-dung; then beholds a river whose ‘water’ is hair, glowing embers, and ash-formed serpents—an anti-sacred river vision.
