Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 54
एवं शोकाकुलं दीनमिंद्रसेनमहीपतेः । नगरं सहसा क्षुब्धं चित्रवर्मपुरं तथा
evaṃ śokākulaṃ dīnamiṃdrasenamahīpateḥ | nagaraṃ sahasā kṣubdhaṃ citravarmapuraṃ tathā
ഇങ്ങനെ ശോകാകുലനായി ദീനനായ മഹാരാജ ഇന്ദ്രസേനന്റെ അവസ്ഥകൊണ്ട് ചിത്രവർമപുരം നഗരവും പെട്ടെന്ന് കലങ്ങിപ്പൊങ്ങി അശാന്തമായി.
