Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 51
किं दत्तास्मि मुनिश्रेष्ठ त्वयाहं चास्य भूपतेः । येन मां कालयंत्यस्य पुरुषाः स्वामिनो यथा
kiṃ dattāsmi muniśreṣṭha tvayāhaṃ cāsya bhūpateḥ | yena māṃ kālayaṃtyasya puruṣāḥ svāmino yathā
ഹേ മുനിശ്രേഷ്ഠാ! നിങ്ങൾ എന്നെ ഈ രാജാവിന് ദാനമായി കൊടുത്തോ? അതുകൊണ്ടാണോ അവന്റെ ആളുകൾ എന്നെ തങ്ങളുടെ സ്വാമിയുടെ സ്വത്തുപോലെ ഓടിക്കുന്നത്?
Nandinī
Scene: Close scene: Nandinī, bruised, looks up at Vasiṣṭha with pleading eyes, as if asking whether she has been given away; Vasiṣṭha listens, composed yet grave.
