Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 45
ततो लज्जापरीतांगः स्थितश्चाधोमुखो द्विजाः । इन्द्राद्यैरमरैः सर्वैः सहितः सर्वतः स्थितैः
tato lajjāparītāṃgaḥ sthitaścādhomukho dvijāḥ | indrādyairamaraiḥ sarvaiḥ sahitaḥ sarvataḥ sthitaiḥ
तेव्हा लज्जेने व्यापलेला तो अधोमुख होऊन उभा राहिला, हे द्विजांनो. इंद्रादि सर्व अमरदेव सर्व बाजूंनी उभे राहून त्याच्यासह तेथे उपस्थित होते।
