Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 73
यंयं पश्यामि तत्राहं भ्रममाणो महावने । वृक्षं वा प्राणिनो वापि तंतं पृच्छामि मोहतः
yaṃyaṃ paśyāmi tatrāhaṃ bhramamāṇo mahāvane | vṛkṣaṃ vā prāṇino vāpi taṃtaṃ pṛcchāmi mohataḥ
ಆ ಮಹಾವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಲೆದಾಡುತ್ತಾ ನಾನು ಯಾರನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡಿದರೂ—ಮರವೋ ಪ್ರಾಣಿಯೋ—ಮೋಹವಶನಾಗಿ ಅವನವನನ್ನೇ ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆನು।
