Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 35
ततो देवगणैः सर्वैः समेतः पाकशासनः । तमर्थं प्रोक्तवाञ्छंभुं विनयावनतः स्थितः
tato devagaṇaiḥ sarvaiḥ sametaḥ pākaśāsanaḥ | tamarthaṃ proktavāñchaṃbhuṃ vinayāvanataḥ sthitaḥ
അപ്പോൾ പാകശാസകനായ ഇന്ദ്രൻ എല്ലാ ദേവഗണങ്ങളോടും കൂടി ശംഭുവിനെ സമീപിച്ചു; വിനയത്തോടെ നമിഞ്ഞുനിന്ന് തന്റെ കാര്യം അറിയിച്ചു।
