Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 10
हा हता पुत्र पुत्रेति करुणं कुररी यथा । विललापातुरा माता क्व गतो मां विहाय वै । मुखं दर्शय चात्मीयं मातरं मां हि मानय
hā hatā putra putreti karuṇaṃ kurarī yathā | vilalāpāturā mātā kva gato māṃ vihāya vai | mukhaṃ darśaya cātmīyaṃ mātaraṃ māṃ hi mānaya
ती ‘हाय, मी मारली गेले—पुत्रा, पुत्रा!’ असे म्हणत कुररी पक्ष्यासारखी करुण रडू लागली. व्याकुळ माता विलाप करू लागली—‘मला सोडून तू कुठे गेलास? आपला चेहरा दाखव; मी तुझी माता आहे, माझा मान राख।’
