Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 28
निश्वासं परमं मुक्त्वा निपपात धरातले । मूलच्छिन्नो यथा वृक्षो निरुच्छ्वासस्तदाभवत्
niśvāsaṃ paramaṃ muktvā nipapāta dharātale | mūlacchinno yathā vṛkṣo nirucchvāsastadābhavat
Dengan menghela nafas yang sangat dalam, dia rebah ke bumi. Seperti pohon yang terputus dari akar, ketika itu dia menjadi tidak bernafas dan kaku tidak bergerak.
