Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 15
तत्र सस्यमयाः शैला दृश्यंते परिकल्पिताः । सुवर्णस्य च रूप्यस्य रत्नानां च विशेषतः
tatra sasyamayāḥ śailā dṛśyaṃte parikalpitāḥ | suvarṇasya ca rūpyasya ratnānāṃ ca viśeṣataḥ
അവിടെ ധാന്യസമൃദ്ധിയാൽ നിർമ്മിതമായതുപോലെ, കൽപ്പിതമെന്നപോലെ, പർവ്വതങ്ങൾ ദൃശ്യമായിരുന്നു; കൂടാതെ സ്വർണ്ണ-രൂപ്യക്കൂമ്പാരങ്ങളും, പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് രത്നസമൂഹങ്ങളും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു।
