Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
प्रत्यूषे चापि सोत्थाय यावत्पश्यति भाभिनी । तावत्पश्यतिशून्यं स्वं पार्श्वं यत्र नलः स्थितः
pratyūṣe cāpi sotthāya yāvatpaśyati bhābhinī | tāvatpaśyatiśūnyaṃ svaṃ pārśvaṃ yatra nalaḥ sthitaḥ
ເມື່ອຮຸ່ງອາລຸນ ນາງຜູ້ສະຫວ່າງໄສຕື່ນຂຶ້ນແລະເບິ່ງຮອບ; ນາງເຫັນວ່າຂ້າງກາຍນາງ—ບ່ອນທີ່ນະລະເຄີຍຢືນ—ກາຍເປັນຄວາມຫວ່າງເປົ່າ.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration; specific speaker not explicit in this snippet)
Scene: उषाकाल; दमयन्ती उठकर चारों ओर देखती है—उसके पास की भूमि रिक्त; ओस से भीगी घास, हल्का कुहासा; उसके चेहरे पर विस्मय और भय।
