Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 148
दुःखाद्दुःखतरे मग्ना दृष्ट्वा तं पातकान्वितम् । एवं दुःखनिमग्नायाः शर्वरी विगता तदा
duḥkhādduḥkhatare magnā dṛṣṭvā taṃ pātakānvitam | evaṃ duḥkhanimagnāyāḥ śarvarī vigatā tadā
दुःखातून अधिक दुःखात बुडून, त्याला पातकयुक्त पाहून ती शोकात निमग्न राहिली; आणि अशा प्रकारे तिची रात्र सरली।
