Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 79
इत्यादि सर्वमाकर्ण्य दृष्ट्वा च स महीपतिः । व्रीडितो नितरां मौढ्यात्स्वकृतं कर्म गर्हयन्
ityādi sarvamākarṇya dṛṣṭvā ca sa mahīpatiḥ | vrīḍito nitarāṃ mauḍhyātsvakṛtaṃ karma garhayan
ഇതെല്ലാം കേട്ടും കണ്ടും ആ ഭൂപതി തന്റെ മോഹജന്യമായ മൂഢത്വം കൊണ്ടു അത്യന്തം ലജ്ജിച്ചു; താൻ ചെയ്ത കർമത്തെ തന്നെ കുറ്റപ്പെടുത്തി.
