Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 5
सूत उवाच । नास्माकं विभ्रमो जातो युष्माकं तु द्विजोत्तमाः । परं यत्कारणं कृत्स्नं तद्ब्रवीमि निबोध्यताम्
sūta uvāca | nāsmākaṃ vibhramo jāto yuṣmākaṃ tu dvijottamāḥ | paraṃ yatkāraṇaṃ kṛtsnaṃ tadbravīmi nibodhyatām
सूत म्हणाले—हे द्विजोत्तमांनो, मला कोणताही भ्रम झाला नाही; संशय तुमच्यातच उत्पन्न झाला आहे। त्याचे संपूर्ण व यथार्थ कारण मी सांगतो—ऐका व समजून घ्या।
