Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 44
अथांबराद्द्रुतं पेतुर्दिव्याः कुसुमवृष्टयः । प्रणेदुर्देवतूर्याणि देवाश्च ननृतुर्जगुः
athāṃbarāddrutaṃ peturdivyāḥ kusumavṛṣṭayaḥ | praṇedurdevatūryāṇi devāśca nanṛturjaguḥ
അപ്പോൾ ആകാശത്തിൽ നിന്ന് വേഗത്തിൽ ദിവ്യപുഷ്പവൃഷ്ടി പെയ്തു. ദേവതൂര്യങ്ങൾ മുഴങ്ങി; ദേവന്മാർ ആനന്ദത്തോടെ നൃത്തം ചെയ്ത് പാടി।
