Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 18
अनभ्यागमनाद्भर्तुः सा नारी पुत्रवर्जिता । सदा शोकेन संतप्ता कालेन निधनं गता
anabhyāgamanādbhartuḥ sā nārī putravarjitā | sadā śokena saṃtaptā kālena nidhanaṃ gatā
ಪತಿ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ಬಾರದ ಕಾರಣ ಆ ಸ್ತ್ರೀ ಪುತ್ರಹೀನಳಾಗಿಯೇ ಉಳಿದಳು; ಸದಾ ಶೋಕದಿಂದ ತಪಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಕಾಲಕ್ರಮೇಣ ಮರಣ ಹೊಂದಿದಳು.
