Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 59
ते ऽथ मातलिना अश्वाः प्रतोदेन समाहताः । उत्पतंत इवाकाशे सत्वं संप्रदुद्रुवुः
te 'tha mātalinā aśvāḥ pratodena samāhatāḥ | utpataṃta ivākāśe satvaṃ saṃpradudruvuḥ
പിന്നീട് മാതലി ചാട്ടുകൊണ്ട് അടിച്ചതോടെ ആ കുതിരകൾ മഹാബലത്തോടെ മുന്നോട്ട് പാഞ്ഞു; ആകാശത്തിലേക്ക് ചാടിപ്പോകുമെന്നപോലെ തോന്നി।
