Matsya Purana — The Strategy to Defeat Tāraka: Pārvatī’s Birth, Shloka 144
ज्ञात्वा तदिङ्गितं शैलो महिष्या हृदयेन तु अनुद्गीर्णो ऽक्षतिर्मेने रम्यमेतदुपस्थितम् //
jñātvā tadiṅgitaṃ śailo mahiṣyā hṛdayena tu anudgīrṇo 'kṣatirmene ramyametadupasthitam //
Setelah memahami maksud yang tidak terucap dari hati sang permaisuri, Śaila—tanpa mengucap sepatah kata—menganggapnya sebagai tanda yang baik dan tidak memudaratkan, serta merasakan bahawa sesuatu yang indah telah hadir.
