Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 134
इत्थं विवस्वतः सा तु बहुशः पृच्छतोऽन्यथा । न वाचा भाषते क्रुद्धः शापं दातुं समुद्यतः
itthaṃ vivasvataḥ sā tu bahuśaḥ pṛcchato'nyathā | na vācā bhāṣate kruddhaḥ śāpaṃ dātuṃ samudyataḥ
विवस्वानाने तिला अनेक प्रकारे वारंवार विचारले, तरी ती वाणीने उत्तर देईना. तेव्हा तो क्रुद्ध होऊन शाप देण्यास उद्यत झाला.
