Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 53
श्रीभगवानुवाच । भविता न चिराद्वृष्टिः प्रभूता धरणीतले । भविष्यंति तथान्नानि यानि कानि महीतले
śrībhagavānuvāca | bhavitā na cirādvṛṣṭiḥ prabhūtā dharaṇītale | bhaviṣyaṃti tathānnāni yāni kāni mahītale
श्रीभगवान म्हणाले—लवकरच धरित्रीवर मुबलक पाऊस पडेल। त्यानुसार भूमीवर सर्व प्रकारची अन्नधान्ये उत्पन्न होतील।
