Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 44
इत्थं सुविस्मितो राजा भीतः सा राजवल्लभा । प्रत्युवाच विहस्यैनं विनयेन शुचिस्मिता
itthaṃ suvismito rājā bhītaḥ sā rājavallabhā | pratyuvāca vihasyainaṃ vinayena śucismitā
Demikianlah raja berdiri amat terperanjat dan takut. Kekasih raja itu tersenyum suci, tertawa perlahan lalu menjawabnya dengan penuh rendah hati.
