Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 73
यंयं पश्यामि तत्राहं भ्रममाणो महावने । वृक्षं वा प्राणिनो वापि तंतं पृच्छामि मोहतः
yaṃyaṃ paśyāmi tatrāhaṃ bhramamāṇo mahāvane | vṛkṣaṃ vā prāṇino vāpi taṃtaṃ pṛcchāmi mohataḥ
ആ മഹാവനത്തിൽ അലഞ്ഞുതിരിയുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ എവിടെയെവിടെ ആരെയെങ്കിലും കണ്ടാലും—മരമായാലും ജീവിയായാലും—മോഹവശനായി അവരവരോടു ചോദിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു।
