Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 40
सानुरागा परं जाता नोक्तं किंचिद्वचो मुने । तस्मान्नार्हसि शापं त्वं दातुमस्याः कथंचन
sānurāgā paraṃ jātā noktaṃ kiṃcidvaco mune | tasmānnārhasi śāpaṃ tvaṃ dātumasyāḥ kathaṃcana
ती अत्यंत अनुरक्त झाली, तरीही तिने एकही शब्द बोलला नाही, हे मुने. म्हणून कोणत्याही प्रकारे तिला शाप देणे योग्य नाही.
Kāma (Kāmadeva)
Type: kshetra
