Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 21
वृंदा तयोक्तं श्रुत्वैनं विकृतास्यं व्यलोकयत् । वीक्ष्यतं भयवातेन निर्धूता सिंधुजप्रिया
vṛṃdā tayoktaṃ śrutvainaṃ vikṛtāsyaṃ vyalokayat | vīkṣyataṃ bhayavātena nirdhūtā siṃdhujapriyā
វೃន្ទា ស្តាប់ពាក្យរបស់ពួកនាងហើយ ក៏មើលទៅលើគាត់ ឃើញមុខគាត់បែរខូចទ្រង់ទ្រាយដោយភ័យ។ ព្រះនាងជាទីស្រឡាញ់របស់អ្នកកើតពីសិន្ធុ ត្រូវខ្យល់ភ័យបក់ឲ្យញ័រខ្លួន។
