Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 116
यद्दुःखं मरणं जंतोर्न तस्येहोपमा क्वचित् । हा तात मातर्हा कांते क्रंदत्येवं सुदुःखितः
yadduḥkhaṃ maraṇaṃ jaṃtorna tasyehopamā kvacit | hā tāta mātarhā kāṃte kraṃdatyevaṃ suduḥkhitaḥ
जिवाला येणारे मरणरूपी दुःख या लोकी कुठेही तुलनेसारखे नाही. त्या तीव्र वेदनेत अतिदुःखी होऊन तो ‘हाय बाप! हाय आई! हाय प्रिये!’ असे म्हणत आक्रोश करतो.

Scene: A dying person on a low bed, eyes wide with fear, crying out to father, mother, and beloved; relatives stand powerless, some turning away, some weeping.
