Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 27
देवस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा सोऽन्धको विमनाः स्थितः । वृथा क्लेशश्च मे जातो न किंचित्साधितं मया
devasya vacanaṃ śrutvā so'ndhako vimanāḥ sthitaḥ | vṛthā kleśaśca me jāto na kiṃcitsādhitaṃ mayā
देवाचे वचन ऐकून तो अंधक खिन्न होऊन उभा राहिला। म्हणाला—“माझा क्लेश व्यर्थ झाला; मी काहीच साध्य केले नाही.”
