Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 22
राजोवाच । रोहिणीसंभवं त्वं हि शकटं भेदयिष्यसि । सांप्रतं मम दैवज्ञैर्वाक्यमेतदुदाहृतम्
rājovāca | rohiṇīsaṃbhavaṃ tvaṃ hi śakaṭaṃ bhedayiṣyasi | sāṃprataṃ mama daivajñairvākyametadudāhṛtam
രാജാവ് പറഞ്ഞു—രോഹിണിയിൽ നിന്നു ജനിച്ച ആ ശകടത്തെ നീ തീർച്ചയായും തകർക്കും. ഇപ്പോഴേ എന്റെ ദൈവജ്ഞർ ഇതേ വാക്ക് ഉച്ചരിച്ചു.

Type: kshetra
Scene: Daśaratha points to a vulnerable ‘cart of Rohiṇī’—a symbolic vehicle under threat—while astrologers’ words echo; the sky feels fated, yet the king stands defiant.
