Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 54
अनपत्यः स निर्विण्णो राज्यभोगेषु पार्थिवः । विसृज्य सकलं लक्ष्मीं ययौ भूयोऽपि काननम्
anapatyaḥ sa nirviṇṇo rājyabhogeṣu pārthivaḥ | visṛjya sakalaṃ lakṣmīṃ yayau bhūyo'pi kānanam
സന്താനമില്ലാത്ത ആ രാജാവ് രാജ്യഭോഗങ്ങളിൽ വിരക്തി പൂണ്ടു. സകല ഐശ്വര്യങ്ങളും ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച് അവൻ വീണ്ടും കാട്ടിലേക്ക് പോയി.
