Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29
अथ संसेवितास्तैस्तु मानवाश्च परस्परम् । विरुद्धांश्च प्रकुर्वंति नाप्नुवंति यथा दिवम्
atha saṃsevitāstaistu mānavāśca parasparam | viruddhāṃśca prakurvaṃti nāpnuvaṃti yathā divam
ಆಮೇಲೆ ಆ ದೋಷಗಳ ಪ್ರಭಾವದಿಂದ ಮಾನವರು ಪರಸ್ಪರ ವಿರೋಧಿಗಳಾಗಿ ಕಲಹಗಳನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ; ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವರು ಯಥೋಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಸ್ವರ್ಗವನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲ।
Skanda (deduced; exact speaker not explicit in snippet)
Scene: A crowded settlement where people, stirred by vices, argue and clash; above them a faint, receding path to svarga closes, symbolizing lost merit.
