Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 78
वध्यमानापि लज्जंतः पौरुषे स्वे व्यवस्थिताः । एतस्मिन्नंतरे प्राप्तो नारदो मुनिसत्तमः
vadhyamānāpi lajjaṃtaḥ pauruṣe sve vyavasthitāḥ | etasminnaṃtare prāpto nārado munisattamaḥ
ទោះបីកំពុងត្រូវសម្លាប់ក៏ដោយ ពួកគេមានអារម្មណ៍អៀនខ្មាស ហើយនៅតែឈរជាប់ក្នុងភាពជាបុរសរបស់ខ្លួន។ នៅពេលនោះ នារៈទៈ មុនិសត្តមៈ បានមកដល់។
