Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 12
तेन नादेन महता त्रासितं भुवनत्रयम् । आपूरिता दिशः सर्वाः क्षुभितानेकसागराः
tena nādena mahatā trāsitaṃ bhuvanatrayam | āpūritā diśaḥ sarvāḥ kṣubhitānekasāgarāḥ
त्या महान् नादाने त्रिभुवन भयभीत झाले; सर्व दिशा त्या ध्वनीने भरून गेल्या आणि अनेक सागर क्षुब्ध झाले।
