Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 39
एकैकं च पुनः खण्डं चकार मघवा ततः । सप्तधा सप्तधा कोपादुद्बुध्य च ततो दितिः
ekaikaṃ ca punaḥ khaṇḍaṃ cakāra maghavā tataḥ | saptadhā saptadhā kopādudbudhya ca tato ditiḥ
मग नंतर मघवाने प्रत्येक खंड पुन्हा विभागला—सात-सात करून, आणि पुन्हा सात-सात करून. तेव्हा दिती क्रोधाने जागी झाली।
