Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 98
विलोक्य तां विशालाक्षीं मुनिर्व्याकुलितेन्द्रियः । बभूव रोषसंतप्तः शशाप च बहु ज्वलन्
vilokya tāṃ viśālākṣīṃ munirvyākulitendriyaḥ | babhūva roṣasaṃtaptaḥ śaśāpa ca bahu jvalan
ആ വിശാലാക്ഷിയെ കണ്ടപ്പോൾ മുനിയുടെ ഇന്ദ്രിയങ്ങൾ വ്യാകുലമായി; കോപത്തിൽ ദഹിച്ച്, ജ്വലിക്കുന്നവനെപ്പോലെ അദ്ദേഹം ശാപം ഉച്ചരിച്ചു।
