Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 15
इति ते गृह्य काष्ठानि यदोपस्थे ययुस्तदा । पलायितः स बहुधा भयात्तेषां महात्मनाम्
iti te gṛhya kāṣṭhāni yadopasthe yayustadā | palāyitaḥ sa bahudhā bhayātteṣāṃ mahātmanām
ഇപ്രകാരം പറഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ട് അവർ വടികളുമെടുത്ത് അടുത്തപ്പോൾ, ആ മഹാത്മാക്കളെ ഭയന്ന് അവൻ പലവഴിക്ക് ഓടിപ്പോയി.
