Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 9
भविष्यति कुलच्छेदः शैथिल्यान्मम दुर्मतेः । गुरुपत्न्या च संदृष्ट उत्तंको दुःखितस्तदा
bhaviṣyati kulacchedaḥ śaithilyānmama durmateḥ | gurupatnyā ca saṃdṛṣṭa uttaṃko duḥkhitastadā
ដោយសារការធ្វេសប្រហែស និងភាពល្ងង់ខ្លៅរបស់ខ្ញុំ វង្សត្រកូលខ្ញុំនឹងត្រូវផុតបន្ត។ នៅពេលនោះ ឧត្តង្គៈ ត្រូវភរិយាគ្រូបានឃើញ ហើយគាត់ពោរពេញដោយទុក្ខសោក។
Vasiṣṭha (with Uttaṅka’s sentiment embedded)
Scene: Uttaṅka, a young ascetic disciple, stands with downcast eyes and folded hands, grief-stricken after being seen by the guru’s wife; the hermitage setting is quiet, with a sense of moral tension and self-reproach.
