Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 110
चन्द्रशर्मोवाच । के यूयं विकृताकारा जंतूनां च भयानकाः । पृथ्वीसमुद्भवा जीवा न दृष्टा न श्रुता मया
candraśarmovāca | ke yūyaṃ vikṛtākārā jaṃtūnāṃ ca bhayānakāḥ | pṛthvīsamudbhavā jīvā na dṛṣṭā na śrutā mayā
ചന്ദ്രശർമൻ പറഞ്ഞു—വികൃതരൂപികളേ, ജീവികൾക്കു ഭയങ്കരരായ നിങ്ങള് ആരാണ്? നിങ്ങൾ ഭൂമിയിൽ നിന്നു ജനിച്ച ജീവികളുപോലെ തോന്നുന്നു; എന്നാൽ നിങ്ങളെ ഞാൻ കണ്ടതുമില്ല, കേട്ടതുമില്ല।
Candraśarman
Scene: Candraśarman, still shaken, raises his hands in a mix of fear and inquiry, addressing the distorted beings; the beings loom but pause, as if about to reveal their identity and demand.
