Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 124
हुंकारेणैव ते दैत्याः स्वमेव नगरं गताः । विस्मृतं सकलं तेषां स्वयंवरमुखं च तत्
huṃkāreṇaiva te daityāḥ svameva nagaraṃ gatāḥ | vismṛtaṃ sakalaṃ teṣāṃ svayaṃvaramukhaṃ ca tat
ആ ഒരൊറ്റ ‘ഹും’കാരമാത്രത്താൽ തന്നെ ആ ദൈത്യർ തങ്ങളുടെ നഗരത്തിലേക്ക് മടങ്ങി. അവർക്കെല്ലാം മറന്നു—സ്വയംവരത്തിന്റെ ആ ലക്ഷ്യവും പോലും.

Listener: Phālguna (Arjuna)
Scene: A single, thunder-like ‘huṃ’ emanates; daityas turn back as if spellbound, their faces blank with sudden forgetfulness, retreating toward their city gates.
